Description
Designed by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter, this sprawling 12-room residence exudes a pure sophistication that will transport you to an earlier era of New York City. This rarely available, full-floor apartment with four exposures is located at 635 Park Avenue, a premier full-service white-glove prewar cooperative, constructed in 1912 and located on the southeast corner of East 66th St.
The generously scaled rooms feature exquisite classic prewar details including beautiful herringbone hardwood floors, high ceilings, four wood-burning fireplaces, and oversized windows allowing for abundant natural light throughout the day from all four exposures.
Stepping off the private elevator landing, an elegant circular gallery leads to the entertaining rooms including a conveniently located guest powder room. The gallery opens into the dramatic corner living room facing south and west onto Park Avenue. Connected through double doors, the grand living room opens to a gracious corner formal dining room facing south and east.
Both the living room and dining room feature wood-burning fireplaces as does the library and adjacent sitting room. In addition, the living room, library, and two bedrooms including the primary corner bedroom, all directly overlook Park Avenue. The separate private quarters include five bedrooms and four windowed bathrooms, three of which are en-suite.
The expansive kitchen, which can be accessed from the dining room or from the gallery, includes a separate large, windowed east-facing breakfast room.
The kitchen leads into a laundry room with easy access to the service entrance and staff room.
Amenities of this well-maintained full-service cooperative include a full-time doorman, live-in resident superintendent, fitness room, and private storage. The building allows 50% financing and there is a flip tax of 2%.
