This truly extraordinary home is located in one of Park Avenue's finest buildings. Built by the team of Rosario Candela and Eliot Cross this prestigious structure was completed in 1929. The home is the perfect combination of 1920's master craftsmanship and the amenities of today. The scale of the public rooms is grand and yet there is a sense of tranquility and privacy throughout.

The elevator opens onto your private landing and from there you step into the immense 37' gallery. The gallery is not only a stunning welcome but provides rich views of the interior and an immediate sense of the home. As you look towards the public rooms you are met with not only a beautiful sense of proportion but light streaming in from the numerous tall, broad windows overlooking Park Avenue.

The baronial living room has 11' ceilings with exquisite crown molding, a wood burning fireplace and intricate parquetry floors. The formal dining room is grand for entertaining but cozy enough for family suppers with its wood burning fireplace. The beautiful in-laid floors are repeated here and the dental crown molding, plaster relief encircling the chandelier and rich Venetian plaster walls make for a stunning room. The library off the living room is paneled in rich mahogany and has a third wood burning fireplace.The carved wooden and marble mantle is stunning and echoed in the superb carved pediments above the doors. The bookshelves that surround the library and the discreet, built-ins for electronics make this room elegant and practical at the same time. Any of these rooms are the perfect spot for a glance at the tulips in the spring or the holiday lights in the winter along the Avenue. A half bath for guests is located conveniently off the gallery.

The master bedroom suite is a private sanctuary on the corner of the apartment with two windows overlooking Park Avenue and a fourth wood burning fireplace. Vast amounts of well thought out closet space and shelves abound and there is a spacious bathroom with standing shower, bathtub and double vanity. A broad hall leads to the other four bedrooms that are well proportioned, have windowed baths en suite and plenty of closet space. Three face south over East 70th Street and one sits quietly on the courtyard of the building with western light. A walk-in linen closet and additional storage is abundant in the bedroom wing hall.

The kitchen suite is large, practical and well-proportioned. The windowed butler's pantry has immense storage, a center island for staging a large dinner, plenty of counter top, a sink, secondary dishwasher and desk area. The chef will feel right at home in the kitchen. There is a stainless steel six burner gas stove with griddle, two ovens, a restaurant-quality hood, two Sub-Zero refrigerators and Vermont Verde marble counter tops. The kitchen and pantry are lined with hand-crafted, hardwood cabinets to the ceiling with custom drawers beneath the counters. There is a huge picture window facing west above the double sink. Adjacent is the spacious breakfast room, also facing west, with additional storage. Down the hall from the kitchen is a staff wing with laundry room, staff half bath and a very large staff room with a double window and full bath.

The family room/gym is accessed via a lovely winding staircase that adds to the home's unique character. There is a double window facing west over the courtyard. Down the hall are two separate staff rooms with an additional full bath.

Much original brass hardware, bullet door hinges and key holes remain intact on the heavy, six-panel doors. There is a sound system, pin-spot lighting throughout the public rooms and through the wall air conditioning. Additionally, the building has a dedicated, full time staff, private storage, wine cellar, squash court and fitness room
