It is known that pioneering television journalist Barbara Walters once lived at 555 Park Avenue, and an apartment rumored to be hers, a five-bedroom co-op, has recently been listed for $10.35 million (h/t/ 6sqft). However, this is one apartment that doesn't need to ride a celebrity's coattails to prominence. It has come away from a stylish renovation with a gorgeous combination of original architectural details and enhancements to please the modern buyer. It also benefits from a prime location near Central Park, especially high-end Madison Avenue shopping, and top restaurants, schools, and transportation.
