Description

This classic 8 room Upper East side apartment at 570 Park Avenue was elegantly re-designed by Doug Larson of Larson Architecture Works in New York City and was awarded the prestigious Stanford White Award for Excellence in Classical and New Traditional Design. The end result is a gracious space for living in New York recalling the wonderfully laid out plans of European residences.

One enters from a semi-private landing. The high-ceilinged foyer opens to a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace. Ionic pilasters placed in a pattern around the room create a regular rhythm of walls and openings. Doorways to the library and dining room from the living room are wide and high and arranged on the same axis creating a gracious enfilade connecting the public rooms on the windowed wall facing 63rd street. The library has a hidden door discreetly accessing a powder room which doubles as a full bathroom for the guest room. The primary bedroom features an extensive wall of built-in closets, an en-suite bathroom with sit-in shower and luxurious Edwardian style fixtures.

The kitchen is large with ample storage and a breakfast alcove. Appliances are by Viking and Sub-Zero. A laundry converted from one of the staff rooms houses washer and dryer. There is a third bedroom and bathroom off the service wing. The apartment has both central air conditioning and Sonos sound system throughout. Windows on all 4 sides of the apartment catch the sun at all times of day and the natural finish to the original white oak parquet de Versailles flooring allows even more light to play.

570 Park Avenue was designed by the acclaimed architect Emery Roth and built by Bing and Bing in 1916. It enjoys an enviable Upper East Side location between Madison and Park Avenues on East 63rd Street. Madison Avenue shopping, nearby Central Park and some of the finest schools are all easily accessible. The building features a 24 hour doorman, live-in resident manager and resident’s gym.
