Elegance defined in this sprawling twelve room, six bedroom home with four full baths, south-facing windowed eat-in kitchen, large formal dining room and enormous corner living room. Designed by noted architect, James. E. R. Carpenter, 550 Park was built in 1917, and is known for its grand proportions, high ceilings, large windows, detailed moldings, and intricate herringbone patterned floors, all of which have been lovingly restored in this turn-key home.

Step out of the elevator on to your private landing and be ushered into the grand entry hall leading to one of the most wonderful living rooms on all of Park Avenue. With open views to the north and east, a working wood-burning fireplace, and nearly forty feet in length, light is wonderful throughout the day. Guests will be drawn to the over-sized dining room easily accommodating eighteen for dinner.
