Park Avenue's stately 42-story, Emery Roth-designed Ritz Tower is elegance and gracious living exemplified. Built as a luxury hotel in 1925 and converted to a co-op in 1956, the Ritz Tower offers residents a myriad of five-star hotel services and an unparalleled in-house staff. At approximately 2500 square feet, Apartment 10CD, is a truly lovely and spacious full-time home, or the perfect pied-a-terre, and the epitome of the refinement the Ritz Tower is known for. Although an estate sale, the apartment is in pristine move-in condition.

There's an easy flow from these rooms to the library and the media room.
