GRAND 11-ROOM PARK AVENUE HOME

NEW TO MARKET! A grand and glorious Park Avenue 12-into-11-room, 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom corner home with an oversized living room, formal dining room, library and additional office/staff room. Featuring 40 feet of Park Avenue frontage along both the living and dining rooms, there are also beautiful views over tree-lined 74th Street from the library and 3 bedrooms, including the primary suite. Apartment 7A at 791 Park Avenue is a perfectly configured and beautifully maintained pre-war home filled with natural light from oversized windows throughout, all in an elegant, full-service white-glove pre-war cooperative on a premier block of Manhattan's renowned Upper East Side.

Entering through a private landing, you are welcomed into the gracious gallery which leads you into a massive corner living room overlooking Park Avenue and East 74th Street. The living room is anchored by a handsome wood-burning fireplace, and beautiful sunlight floods the room from the west and north. Perfectly situated adjacent to the oversized living room is an expansive formal dining room also offering views west over Park Avenue. Designed for entertaining at scale or private gathering, these rooms are divided by a pair of floor-to-ceiling custom doors, allowing for grand receptions or an intimate dinner at sunset.

This western wing of the home also includes a sophisticated wood-paneled library, a discrete powder room perfectly positioned just off of the gallery as well as a massive windowed eat-in kitchen in beautiful condition and equipped with all modern appliances, enhanced by a dedicated breakfast room with banquette seating for more casual meals at home. There is an office/staff room just off of the kitchen with a full en-suite bathroom.

The bedrooms are all serenely situated in the private wing, on the eastern side of the apartment. There is a lavish corner primary bedroom suite with exposures to the east as well as north over East 74th Street. The newly renovated and enlarged windowed en-suite primary bathroom is equipped with an oversized vanity, a large glass-enclosed stall shower and a dedicated water closet. A second bedroom suite adjacent to the primary suite has been incorporated as a study with an en-suite bathroom but is easily restored to its original use as a separate bedroom. There are three additional bedrooms, two of which face north over East 74th Street and have dedicated en-suite bathrooms.

Built in 1924 by renowned architects George and Edward Blum, 791 Park Avenue features a two-story rusticated limestone base with a facade of elegant beige brick. Situated in Manhattan's prime East 70's on the southeast corner of East 74th Street and Park Avenue, the building offers immediate proximity to Central Park, Museum Mile and famed world-class boutiques and galleries along Madison Avenue as well as the city's best dining experiences all around. New York City's finest cultural and educational institutions are within blocks as well. Residents of 791 Park Avenue enjoy a dedicated full-time staff including a 24-hour doorman and a live-in resident manager. There is a state-of-the-art fitness center as well as assigned private storage, bicycle storage and central laundry. Pets are allowed, and financing is permitted up to 50%. There is a 2% flip tax.
