Mint  5 Bedroom Candela Duplex

Located in one of Park Avenue's finest prewar cooperatives at the corner of 73rd Street,  this renovated and stunning five bedroom duplex home commands over 100 feet of Park Avenue frontage.

Designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela, the residence offers grand scale rooms with a gracious layout accentuated by magnificent  architectural elements.  A sweeping 23-foot gallery opens onto a sprawling 31 x 20 ft. living room with a woodburning fireplace and three large windows overlooking Park Avenue. The home's soaring 11 ft.  ceilings are enhanced by beautiful traditional moldings throughout,  and restored herringbone flooring may be found in all of the public rooms. Adjacent to the living room, there is a handsome paneled library with a wood-burning fireplace  that also faces the Avenue. A powder room may also be found off the gallery. At the opposite end of the gallery is an elegant 25-foot formal dining room with a fireplace,  a separate dry bar and a closet for china and stemware storage.    The dining room has open views to the east.   A modern and impressive  Chef's eat-in-kitchen  with four large windows overlooking townhouse gardens may be found along the Eastern wing of the home. The enormous 28 x 13 ft. kitchen has top-of- the line appliances, ample counter space, and custom cabinetry.   The bright and open views over townhouses and gardens to the east make it one of the best eat-in-kitchens on Park Avenue.

At the top of the sweeping and impressive staircase, the private upstairs bedroom wing has five very generous and sunny primary bedrooms.  Each of the bedrooms has a renovated en-suite  bathroom and ample closet space.   The fifth bedroom is currently used as a den / family room, and is ideal for informal gatherings.   A separate laundry room completes this upper level of the home.   There is also a staff room on the lower level of the building.   

Built in 1927, this limestone and brick Italian Renaissance structure is one of the most distinctive buildings on Park Avenue. Residents of this distinguished cooperative enjoy the highest levels of service, privacy and security. There is a full-time doorman, renovated fitness room  and private basement  storage .  50% Financing is  permitted, and there is a 3% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
