erfectly located at Park Avenue and 78th Street, 885 Park Avenue is a distinguished white glove cooperative built in 1927. Situated in the middle of a historic corridor of townhouses and schools, it was built with a cadre of fine European craftsmen, composing a collection of “mansions in the sky.” Originally 12 to 10 rooms, the home was re-imagined by Robert A.M. Architects, achieving seamless room arrangements, timeless elegance and pre-war charm.
This apartment is flooded with sunshine, spanning the entire front of the building. The private elevator landing opens to an elegant gallery that gracefully separates the living room, library and dining room from the private bedroom suites. The public rooms invite exceptional entertaining and dining with a side-by-side formal dining room and living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace. Off the gallery, opposite the library, is the enormous eat-in kitchen with a comfortable media/sitting area.
The bedroom wing is separate from the public rooms and may be entered through a hallway off the central gallery or the kitchen. There are four generously sized bedroom suites, each with excellent closet space, much coveted proportions, and full bathrooms. The south and west exposures in the sweeping master bedroom supply wonderful light throughout the day.
Additionally, there is a guest or staff room with a full bathroom and a laundry area.
Just steps from beguiling boutique shopping on Madison Avenue, many fashionable restaurants & galleries, and many of the best schools in the country, this is one of the most convenient and appealing houses in NYC. The landmarked building designed by Schwartz & Gross is comprised of 39 units over 15 floors. Amenities include full-time doormen, elevator operators, service staff, a live-in superintendent, a generous fitness center and basement storage.
