An outstanding residence in one of Park Avenue's finest white-glove cooperatives, this magnificent 12-room home was personally designed by legendary architect Rosario Candela in 1934. With 100-feet fronting Park Avenue, the grand-scale residence with over 5,300 square feet has been meticulously renovated throughout while original architectural details remain perfectly preserved. There are soaring ceilings, original herringbone floors, elegant archways, oversized doorways with transoms, classic moldings, and 3 fireplaces. One enters off a private elevator landing to a vast 25' x 18' gallery with two large windows. Spanning 34 feet, the gracious living room has a fireplace and overlooks Park Avenue. Adjacent, the handsome library has a full-bath and also overlooks the Avenue. An elegant 24' x 19' formal dining room with exquisite moldings, chair-rails and a fireplace enjoys charming treetop and garden views to the East from 2 large windows. There is a large wet-bar off a separate dining room hall. The beautifully renovated, sundrenched chef's eat-in-kitchen has double windows and a large banquette that can easily seat 8. There are top-of-the line, stainless-steel appliances including a refrigerator from Sub-Zero, a Gaggeneau cook-top, 2 dishwashers, and a set of Thermador warming drawers. There is attractive custom-cabinetry and a large island with a marble top. A vast butler's pantry has a second Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine storage, and additional countertop and storage space. The East wing of the residence consists of a long corridor leading to a lovely, spacious bedroom with a renovated full-bath en suite. There is a second bedroom, a full-bath and a staff room/smaller bedroom as well as a laundry room along this wing. On the North wing of the home, a private corridor leads to a stately chamber with wood paneling, a fireplace and vintage stained glass windows overlooking the Avenue. Further along the hall, there is a 19' corner master suite with a view of both Park Avenue and 72nd Street, a sumptuous master bath and 2 vast walk-in closets. An additional sunny, spacious bedroom with a full-bath en suite may also be found off this corridor along with a 4th peaceful chamber with large closet. Built in 1914 by W.L.
