Triple Mint Park Avenue Penthouse

This meticulously renovated five thousand two hundred square foot (approximate) penthouse duplex with wonderful Central Park and Manhattan Skyline views is located on the nineteenth and twentieth floors of one of Park Avenue's most prestigious white-glove prewar cooperatives at the corner of East seventy-first Street.

An oversized private elevator landing opens onto an elegant twenty-one foot entrance gallery with an enormous picture window capturing breathtaking views of the Manhattan Skyline and Central Park. The gallery leads to a massive thirty-five by twenty-two foot living room with soaring eleven foot ceilings and three exposures; the western exposure captures outstanding skyline and Central Park views. At the opposite end of the gallery is a wonderful corner library and a gracious formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling French doors opening onto the penthouse's north terrace. The vast and beautifully renovated eat-in kitchen boasts three exposures and is bathed in natural sunlight throughout the day. The western views from the kitchen capture Central Park and open blue skies, a rare feature in a Manhattan pre-war kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large family room or fourth bedroom with a sunny eastern exposure, and an adjoining guest bathroom. A separate laundry room, as well as a staff suite with a large private bathroom and a private terrace, complete this wing of the home.

A gracious staircase leads to the bedroom level of the penthouse on the twentieth floor. At the top of the staircase are French doors opening onto a wonderfully landscaped double terrace with open views westward to Central Park. Each of the three bedroom suites on this level is completely private with no adjoining walls, and each has a renovated en-suite windowed bathroom. The enormous corner primary bedroom suite enjoys floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors opening onto the stunning terrace with Central Park views. The oversized suite has excellent closet space and a separate dressing room opening into a beautifully renovated sun-drenched bathroom.

A staff room on the second floor of the building is available for sale separately.

Seven hundred thirty Park Avenue was built in 1929, designed in the golden age of New York apartment house construction by F. Burrall Hoffman Jr. and Lafayette A. Goldstone in the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Jacobean style. Standing twenty stately stories on the southwest corner of Park Avenue and seventy-first Street, this building contains forty generously proportioned apartments. Residents enter via an impressive entrance on a quiet side street, receiving services from two full-time doormen, a Resident Manager, and several handymen. This prestigious full-service cooperative also offers a fitness room, storage, as well as an excellent location in center of Upper East Side, minutes from fashionable boutiques, premier restaurants, and art galleries on Madison Avenue. There is a three percent flip tax paid by purchaser; additionally, this building now permits fifty percent financing.
