This high floor 9-room corner home with spectacular light and south and west city and Park views is available for the first time in more than 35 years.  It has a gracious classic floorplan, unaltered from the original, with very large and grand rooms throughout.  A semi-private landing opens into the extra-wide 27-foot gallery with an original display niche and archway carvings.  The south-facing living room has a woodburning fireplace; the adjacent dining room faces north onto the building's landscaped gardens.  The kitchen and service area faces north and east onto the gardens and includes a windowed kitchen, a pantry, two maid's rooms and a full maid's bath.  The bedroom wing, off the other end of the gallery, has three bedrooms, three baths and a wood-panelled library/fourth bedroom.  The corner master bedroom has open views south down Park Avenue and west to the Central Park Reservoir, and a second bedroom and bath likewise enjoy open western city and Reservoir views. The third bedroom and library face south, as do the other two baths.  Prewar details throughout the apartment include beautiful hardwood floors and high beamed ceilings.  There are many large closets.

1185 Park, with its unique interior courtyard garden, is one of the most beautiful and desirable buildings in Carnegie Hill, with full-time doormen, a concierge, a state-of-the-art gym for shareholders and a children's playroom.  There is a private storage bin for each apartment and pets are permitted.
