The crown jewel of five hundred thirty-five Park Avenue, this penthouse offers a rare combination of a triple-mint renovation, prewar architectural pedigree, and true indoor/outdoor living, anchored by a glorious planted terrace overlooking Park Avenue. A gracious Gallery announces the home's grand scale and leads into the loft-like Living Room, centered on a wood-burning fireplace and framed by French doors that open to an expansive terrace. The fully landscaped one thousand four hundred square foot terrace enjoys striking open views along Park Avenue, and glimpses of Central Park. Adjacent to the formal Living Room is a well-appointed Library with double exposures and a second fireplace. The sizable Dining Room is distinguished by a barrel-vaulted ceiling and bright eastern exposures. The triple-mint chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash. The Primary Suite enjoys a windowed en-suite bathroom, two dressing areas, and double exposures. The Secondary Bedroom also enjoys corner exposures, custom double-height closets and a windowed en-suite bathroom. The former residence and studio of acclaimed society portraitist Lydia Field Emmet, this penthouse enjoys ceiling heights in excess of ten feet, incredible light, and sweeping open exposures from each room. Five hundred thirty-five Park Avenue was among the first Park Avenue cooperatives constructed by the original shareholders, including Ms. Emmet for whom the penthouse was specifically designed.

Residents enjoy full-time doormen; a live-in superintendent; along with several porters lending to an overall high staff-to-resident ratio. Private storage is provided for each unit.
