535 Park Avenue   Unit 12B

Unique in every way this exceptional home is perfect as a full-time residence and also as a pied-a-terre. Enter from a semi-private vestibule into the foyer and hallway that opens to a dramatic 27ft. living room with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by two East facing windows. A large window faces North. The coved ceiling is 10 ft. high and the room has beautiful moldings around the doors and windows. Wainscoting adorns the lower part of the walls. The upper walls are padded and upholstered both elegant and sound absorbing. Double mirrored folding doors separate the living room from the dining room and its star-studded hand-painted ceiling. It seats twelve.

The master bedroom has southern exposures, well-appointed closets and a windowed bathroom with a tub, drawers, cupboard and mirrored cabinets. Southern side views of Christ Church on Park Avenue add to the charm of the library/second bedroom. There are book cases, large closets and cupboards. A hidden door opens to the second bathroom with a shower and beautiful dark wood millwork.

The spacious kitchen and the laundry have East facing windows.

This really is a unique apartment that functions well as a pied-a-terre or full-time residence.

A designated storage bin in the basement transfers with the apartment.
