655 Park Avenue   Unit 10D

This gracious Classic Six is located on the 10th floor in one of Park Avenue's most highly regarded cooperative buildings. A semi-private elevator landing leads to the entry foyer and on to an elegant 29'-long gallery with high ceilings and original herringbone hardwood floors. The living/dining room is immense, spanning more than 40 feet, with a wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and multiple exposures offering wide-open city views. With its oversized windows, this beautifully proportioned room is flooded with natural light: early morning sunlight from the East and afternoon sunsets from the West. Off the gallery is the master bedroom with a windowed ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The second bedroom also has an ensuite bath, with a skylight. With two windows, the large eat-in kitchen is bright and cheerful. It boasts a breakfast nook for five, meticulously-maintained granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, washer/dryer, pantry and ample storage. A third bedroom, with its own full bath, is located off the kitchen, ideal for staff use. The property includes a coveted studio / home office located on the first floor of the building. Oversized storage bins are available in the basement.Built in 1924, 655 Park Avenue was designed by the distinguished architects Mott B. Schmidt and James E. R. Carpenter in the Georgian style. An impressive white-glove, full-service building with 24-hour doormen, staffed elevator, and a live-in building manager, 655 Park is built around a lovely courtyard garden. It is ideally located on the Upper East Side with close proximity to Central Park, Madison Avenue, public transportation, and the very best of New York's shops, galleries and restaurants.
