Elegance Personified on Park Avenue Originally seven rooms now five, this very elegant, spacious and fully renovated home awaits the most discerning buyer. Step into your center gallery from a semi-private landing. To your left through glass paneled French doors is a very grand nearly 30' double Living Room which incorporates an original Library and overlooks Park Avenue's center meridian plantings of seasonal orange tulips and cherry blossom trees. To your right through another set of French doors is a 21' Formal Dining Room for sophisticated entertaining. A corner Master Bedroom suite offers pleasing south and east exposures and ensuite marble master bath with walk-in shower. A second bedroom serves as den with built-in millwork and ensuite marble bath. With generous proportions, nearly 10' ceilings, original moldings, handsome herring bone floors, new windows and an abundance of closets throughout (including a double cedar), the residence is flooded with light from oversized windows in every room. Completing the picture are a 16' eat-in kitchen with double sink, subzero and six-burner Viking stove; butler's pantry with additional sink; hallway powder room; and separate laundry/utility room with vented side-by-side machines and sink for hand washing. Central air conditioning cools the front entertaining rooms, and through the wall HVAC's service the back of the house. The apartment transfers with an oversized 9' x 14' basement storage cage. Two blocks from Central Park, located in the sweet spot of Park Avenue between 77th and 78th Streets and built in 1912, the white glove 875 Park Avenue rises 13 stories high and comprises 43 cooperative units. Designed by brother architects George and Edward Blum, the beige brick building with two-story limestone base features an ornamental wrought iron flower box railing on this level.
