830 Park Avenue   Unit 78A

830 Park Avenue-the Upper East Side’s premier prewar home for grand duplex living. Profiled in the New York Times and Elle magazine, this more than mint huge 4/5 bedroom duplex is truly "Move In". Located on the 7th and 8th floor, this 108 year old home is a rare find-it was expertly restored (in the last 5 years) with state of the art technology and materials and infused with chic style and functional elegance for today's living. The Central A.C. systems with humidification (upstairs and downstairs), new custom state of the art windows designed for sound abatement and UV protection, Lutron lighting, the brilliant sound from Sonos System, IntelliTec security system, top grade plumbing and electrical wiring and outstanding millwork put this apartment in a category of its own. With 4-5 bedrooms and 5 baths, this duplex reads like a expansive house-but with all the services of 830 Park Avenue, a premier Manhattan cooperative. And-the 2021 maintenance only increased 2%!
The stunning entry foyer leads you into the expansive (16'9"x 25'6") gallery/salon with its oversized wood burning fireplace and the sweeping wide staircase. Entering from the gallery, the 30 foot long Living Room echoes Paris with its three floor to ceiling French windows. The living room’s prewar architectural features include original crown molding and almost 10 ft. ceiling. The impressive and beautifully scaled dining room will host grand events (see photo!) Because it is almost a square, the dining room can easily convert to a media/dining room.
Before entering the kitchen, there is a fully equipped wet bar including a wine refrigerator and demi dishwasher for stemware.
Designed to be the hub for everyday life, the light and very large eat in kitchen with oversized windows is a place everyone wants to congregate. All appliances-6 burner w grill Wolf, (vented out) double wide Subzero refrigerator/freezer and Bosch dishwasher were chosen for their excellence. Counter tops, back splash and flooring reflect a chic style but yet are designed for practical and functional use. Next to the kitchen is a built in office space and a large laundry area with side by side full sized washer dryer (vented out) and a counter top to fold clothes.
The spacious playroom could be a 5th bedroom. Adjacent to the room is a beautifully renovated marble bath.
Climb the wide and gracious staircase to find four large bedrooms (2 are master sized corner rooms) and four baths. The renovation included adding the 4th bath. All the baths sparkle with gorgeous marble and ceramic finishings and the latest in plumbing technology.
Building amenities include storage units and bike room.
Pets allowed, flip tax 2.5% paid by the buyer, 30% financing.
With its prized location 830 Park Avenue is in the heart of the Upper East Side-one block from the Carlyle Hotel, minutes from the finest restaurants-Sant Ambroeus and Caravaggio- and seconds from Manhattan's crown jewel -Central Park- with its playgrounds (76th Street Playground) and vast greenswards.
