Description

This palatial full-floor apartment offers an unparalleled blend of space, elegance, and thoughtful design. With a commanding presence and nearly 80 feet of frontage on Park Avenue, Apartment 15th Floor at 860 Park Avenue encompasses approximately 3,534 square feet across 10 rooms, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and powder room. From the plaster crown moldings throughout the apartment to the marble gallery, three wood-burning fireplaces, built-in double safes for China and silverware in the dining room, Sherle Wagner hardware and fixtures, and four exposures, Apartment 15th Floor has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
Upon arrival to the private landing through the keyed elevator, guests are greeted by a grand marble gallery. Adjacent to the gallery is the bright and airy living room, with nearly 30 feet of exposure on Park Avenue, plaster crown moldings, and wood-burning fireplace. Also off the gallery, the corner library is adorned with built-in bookshelves, the second of three wood-burning fireplaces, southern and eastern exposures, and grand proportions of 23-feet by 15.5-feet.
The formal dining room, just off the gallery and sited adjacent to the library, is suited for both casual engagements as well as stately dinner parties with its own ornate plaster crown moldings, double exposures, and the third of three wood-burning fireplaces. The wood-burning fireplace in the dining room is a rarity –– all other apartments at 860 Park Avenue have only two. The built-in China and silverware closets are elegantly tucked behind two large steel safes, which themselves are tucked behind two large doors that blend seamlessly into the dining room wall.
The kitchen enjoys not only seamless connection with the formal dining room, but also the wood-paneled bar room off the gallery, which is complete with wine fridge and ample storage. With upgraded state-of-the-art appliances, including Sub-Zero refrigerator, five-burner Miele gas stove with vented hood, Thermador double oven, and a double-drawer dishwasher, alongside abundant space, the kitchen also features a large, nearly square breakfast room with double exposure and a discreet service entry.
The exceptionally grand master bedroom suite has the advantage of a sizeable dressing room with 11 closets including a large walk-in closet. Off the dressing room is a spacious en-suite master bath with soaking tub and Sherle Wagner hardware. Both secondary bedrooms each have meticulously maintained en-suite baths, and the larger of the secondary bedrooms’ en-suite bath also features Sherle Wagner sink and hardware. The third bedroom may double as a home office or even an art studio.
Accompanied by windowed laundry room with washer and vented dryer, and including high ceilings, three-zone HVAC, and excellent storage space, Apartment 15th Floor is tailored to accommodate an astute lifestyle.
