Stunning 12-Room Sun-Flooded with open City Views, this Candela Classic is...
Poised on a high-floor and distinguished by sweeping views south of Park Avenue. A private elevator vestibule opens onto a grand entrance gallery with high ceilings, beautiful herringbone hardwood floors, and intact original architectural details. Off this center hall, Candelas signature (sun-flooded) corner living room with five modern oversized windows, a wood-burning fireplace, enjoys unobstructed city views south. Adjacent to the living room is an inviting library (with full bathroom) graciously lined with custom built-ins, and a (second) wood-burning fireplace. A grand formal dining room overlooks Park Avenue, ideal for refined entertaining and formal gatherings. A restored (original) butlers pantry, complete with custom cabinetry seamlessly connects the dining room to the windowed eat-in kitchen appointed with high-end appliances, including a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dishwasher. The ever important full-sized laundry room is nestled off the kitchen. The private bedroom wing, accessed via a wide hallway, outfitted with a cedar and linen closets, features a gracious primary bedroom adorned with sun-kissed open city views, copious storage and en-suite bath. Four additional spacious bedrooms plus a separate staffs bedroom (with its own full bath) complete the home.
