Perched high atop one of Rosario Candela's most revered Park Avenue prewar cooperative buildings in the East 70s, this impeccably maintained five-bedroom residence is extremely grand. This home is the epitome of graciousness and elegance. Its large square rooms, high ceilings, and beautiful proportions, as well as the many original architectural elements, enhance its beauty and appeal. The abundant sunlight and open views in all directions are a rarity on Park Avenue. Radiating from the expansive 28-foot Gallery are the impressively scaled and sprawling Living Room with the first of four wood-burning fireplaces and 30 feet of Park Avenue frontage across three oversized windows, a handsome square wood-paneled Library, also facing onto Park Avenue, with carved wooden-mantled working fireplace; and finally, a large and elegant Dining Room featuring the third wood burning fireplace. Soaring 11-foot ceilings are complimented by beautiful traditional moldings throughout and pristine original herringbone floors. This abundant entertaining space includes two generous coat closets, a powder room and the original sweeping staircase that is a hallmark of these sophisticated duplex homes at 775 Park Avenue. The vast, sun-filled, eat-in chef's Kitchen features four oversized windows with views over the townhouses to the east and is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances. It is certainly one of the best and brightest kitchens on Park Avenue. Reached by ascending the elegant staircase from the gallery are the private quarters, which are introduced by a spacious upper landing. The glorious Master Bedroom suite boasts the fourth wood burning fireplace, an office, large bathroom, and significant closets. There are four additional large square bedrooms and three additional bathrooms each with extraordinary sunshine and an abundance of closets. The apartment can be entered off the main elevator on this floor as well. This captivating apartment embodies refined elegance and is the perfect abode for an owner with a sophisticated lifestyle and a penchant for grand entertaining as well as for comfortable family living.
