GRAND PARK AVENUE

New York's most gracious luxury 17 room cooperative with original prewar details. The floorplan, almost entirely original, is arguably New York's finest for a luxury apartment, boasting 65 linear feet on Park Avenue. Four bedrooms, each a master, seven additional staff rooms, and six full baths are part of this fastidiously cared for apartment, which has some of the most beautiful public rooms in Manhattan. Five working fireplaces grace all the primary rooms: the entry foyer, living room, dining room, library and master bedroom. A private elevator landing leads into the magnificent entry foyer, with original eastern-inspired papier-mâché ceiling design. The living room is 40 feet by 20 feet with very high ceilings and beautiful east and south light from the six windows overlooking tree-lined Park Avenue. The dining room is 20 feet by 25 feet with two windows on the Avenue. The extraordinary architecture of the Armory, just across the street, is visible from both living and dining rooms. Just off of the dining room is a sizeable eat-in kitchen designed with the chef in mind. The south facing private quarters of this immaculate home are in a separate wing of the apartment.

The building, erected in 1914 with only 12 residences, one per floor, and designed by J.E.R. Carpenter, the most distinguished architect of his generation. Surrounded by low-rise buildings, 640 Park is situated on the Avenue's most desirable stretch, with tremendous open views and an abundance of natural light. On the northwest corner of 66th and Park, the building is walking distance from the world's best shopping, two blocks from Central Park, and walking distance from Midtown.
