Description

An Entertainer's Dream Home With Elegant Design Details in a Prime Location The home has six bedrooms and four and a half bedrooms, along with inviting entertaining spaces and an exceptional living room, dining room, and kitchen, and a ceiling height just under 10 feet. A semi-private elevator landing opens into a gracious foyer that leads to the oversized living room, which has beautiful windows and Park Avenue exposures. The living room also has a beautiful working gas-burning fireplace.

The foyer and living room connect to the gorgeous formal dining room, an entertainer’s dream, complete with a large wet bar, wine cooler, and marble powder room. The eat-in kitchen was exquisitely designed by Clive Christian, complete with marble countertops and an island, top-of-the-line appliances, smart storage throughout, bright windows, and a breakfast bar for easy dining. Beyond the living spaces, the main level also has three bedrooms, all with ample closet space, and two marble bathrooms.

The upper level has three generously sized bedrooms, including the lovely primary bedroom, which faces East and is outfitted with closets and an en-suite bathroom, with marble throughout. The sprawling space also includes hardwood floors throughout, in addition to an abundance of closet and storage space and soaring ceilings. There is a 2% flip tax. The home is located on a premium and highly-desirable block of Park Avenue, close to Central Park, Museum Mile, exceptional dining, and New York institutions like the Carlyle Hotel.

875 Park Avenue is an iconic full-service white-glove prewar cooperative building in the heart of the Upper East Side. Built in 1912, the address was so desired that the builder William Korn, the former president of JH Taylor Builders, was a resident. Residents enjoy the outstanding 24-hour doorman service, large storage rooms, and extensive security.

The building is pet-friendly and contains an excellent fitness facility, as well as a laundry room. The 77th Street subway station at Lexington Avenue is one block away.
