Description

A true rarity, 71 Park Avenue combines the elegance of a prewar residence with the flexibility of condo ownership, and unit 3B also has the added advantage of 50 feet of prime Park Avenue frontage. The living room, two bedrooms and primary bathroom all look out onto the trees and artwork of Lower Park. Such a special and rare asset in Manhattan!

With 9'3" ceilings, hardwood floors, an open kitchen and beautifully proportioned rooms throughout, it is difficult to replicate. The expansive living room is oversized with Western exposures to Park Avenue and a charming woodburning fireplace that currently has a custom-made electric insert for ease while entertaining. Speaking of entertainment, the apartment is fully equipped with a built-in Polk audio speaker system and an abundance of room for a dining table of any size. The windowed open kitchen is huge, outfitted with a premium suite of appliances, including a Wolf convection oven and cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Asko dishwasher, and a U-Line wine refrigerator.

The king-sized primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with three closets (two being walk-ins!) and a luxurious windowed en-suite bath. The bathroom includes a soaking tub, waterfall shower head, double vanity, and abundant natural light from the Park Avenue-facing window. The second bedroom is just as big as the primary suite, also with Park Avenue views and multiple closets. In its own hallway area, you will find the washer/dryer, and then the well-appointed third bedroom with high ceilings and oversized window. The thoughtfully designed second bathroom is windowed as well and features a step-in shower with frameless glass enclosure. There are through-the-wall air conditioning units in every room, and the apartment also comes with its own storage cage in the basement.

71 Park Avenue is a full-service luxury condominium located on Park Avenue between 38th and 39th Streets. Built in 1924 by Walker and Gillette, this intimate prewar building is perfectly boutique, consisting of only 43 apartments. Amenities include full-time doormen, laundry facilities, a bike room, furnished outdoor space on the ground floor and storage lockers (one which transfers with the sale of the apartment).

Located on Lower Park, this location is the absolute perfect place for those who want proximity to Grand Central or who need access to the Upper East Side but still want to be “downtowners”. Why make concessions on your home when you can live a few blocks away and get EVERYTHING?
