620 Park Avenue   Unit 14

If you have been looking for an apartment that makes you think “I can’t believe I live here!”, you have found it! Located in the heart of one of New York’s most distinguished neighborhoods and blocks from Central Park, this duplex apartment with terraces, unobstructed views, and exceptional light, is set above the rest. This is an apartment for great entertaining in the stunning paneled, blue-glazed dining room and on the expansive terraces off the upstairs entertainment room. The paneled library features one of three wood-burning fireplaces where you can cozy up on a crisp fall night. It’s an apartment for cooking together and eating en famille at the banquette in the kitchen. It’s a residence with a primary bedroom suite, luxurious and private, with glorious light from both the south and west.
The 14th/15th penthouse duplex apartment is a full-floor and a half, four-bedroom apartment with three full baths and two half baths (one easily convertible to a full bath).
The masterful architectural firm, Ferguson & Shamamian renovated the apartment with interiors by Brian McCarthy. From the direct access elevator, one enters a spacious foyer/gallery paralleling the living room to the east. To the south, a gorgeous wood-paneled sitting room sits adjacent to the living room and a wood-paneled library just off the entrance gallery. Mahogany double doors connect the impressive and comfortable living room and dining room spaces, offering eastern views overlooking Park Avenue. A chef’s kitchen, with a great island and custom cabinetry, has a vented range and a suite of ultra high-end appliances. This space, with extraordinary light, includes a built-in desk and a lovely banquette eat-in area.

The corner, primary-bedroom suite, as noted, has beautiful southern and western exposures offering a glimpse of Central Park and has a separate, windowed dressing room leading to a gracious bath. It is located at the opposite end of the floor, away from the three-bedroom children’s wing, for privacy. Access to the 15th floor is gained by a graceful staircase, which leads to an expansive entertainment room with a beautiful, vaulted ceiling, steel casement windows and doors that open to terraces which has northern, eastern, and western exposures and long views of the Midtown skyline. Adjacent to this exceptional room is a charming home office with a Murphy bed and a half bath with laundry (which can be converted to a full bath). An outside staff room, now converted to an assistant’s office, is located on the same floor.
For the terraces, Deborah Nevins & Associates envisioned a brilliant landscape design for al fresco living and dining. A lovely working fountain is also included. The terrace, recently renovated with a complete stucco facade installation, has exceptional east and west exposure. Everything has been done thoughtfully and with the highest attention to detail and quality.
Other features of this beautiful, classic home include hand-crafted mahogany doors from London with exceptional hardware from P.E. Guerin, custom-outfitted closets, multi-zoned central AC, and a full-home Savant installation controlling music, shades, HVAC, and custom Lutron lighting throughout the apartment.
The residence also transfers with a separate private laundry room, a cedar closet and a storage room, all located on the basement level of the building.
620 Park is a prestigious pre-war white-glove cooperative designed by the legendary J.E.R. Carpenter in 1924. The building is located on the Northwest Corner of 65th Street, with only 14 full-floor residences. Additional amenities include a wonderful building staff, a private roof terrace for owners, and a new gym in the basement.
