A thoughtfully restored and impeccably renovated large nine room apartment in an historic pre-war Park Avenue cooperative, this sophisticated and stylish duplex apartment is filled with light and offers expansive entertaining and living spaces.

The stunning main floor, with its lofty ceilings, comprises a foyer leading to an extremely large and gracious gallery/salon with woodburning fireplace. Double doors open to the living room with three floor-to-ceiling French doors that overlook East 76th Street and are mounted with decorative iron grillwork that evoke a feeling of European grandeur. Adjacent there is a spacious yet intimate book-lined library with gas-burning  fireplace. The oversized formal dining room, also with a gas-burning fireplace, features painted wood wainscoting and is sun-flooded from a wall of south-facing windows. The remarkable custom chef's kitchen is truly outstanding and is flooded with light from three east-facing windows. This incredible expanse, which encompasses the original pantry, kitchen and second maid's room, works also as an informal dining/living room. To the south of the kitchen is a fully equipped laundry or staff room with bath.The unusually wide and elegant staircase leads to the bedroom floor with a very large southeast corner master bedroom suite comprising a well conceived dressing room with ample closets and a beautifully appointed master bathroom with double sinks. In addition, there is a very big northeast corner second bedroom with an equally large bathroom en suite with bathtub and separate stall shower. The attractive third bedroom also has a bathroom en suite that is accessible from the bedroom hallway and, therefore, is perfectly situated to serve as a guest powder room.This renovation is a remarkable achievement. No detail was left unnoticed. There are new windows with limestone windowsills, an air conditioning and humidification system, Lutron lighting and, in the kitchen, every imaginable luxury appliance. The basement of the building offers private storage. This exquisite apartment was the subject of a feature article in House and Garden magazine. It presents a unique opportunity to enjoy an unusually gracious lifestyle in Manhattan's most prestigious neighborhood.
