Description

Behind the elegant facade of 888 Park Avenue, one of the Upper East Side's most prestigious prewar cooperatives, awaits a ten-room residence of grandeur and elegance. Offered in estate condition, apartment 6C is a canvas for the discerning buyer with vision: the chance to tailor a classic Park Avenue home to one's lifestyle.

From the moment you arrive, the apartment commands your attention with soaring ceilings, herringbone floors, abundant light and sixty-five feet overlooking tranquil Park Avenue.

Step off your semi-private landing and into a sprawling central gallery leading to the grand living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, and an adjoining library. At the far end of the gallery is the impressively scaled dining room. The flow of this layout is splendid for lavish entertaining and gracious everyday living.

The kitchen and adjoining rooms are full of possibility. A spacious windowed kitchen, butler's pantry, two staff rooms with a full bath and a laundry room offer room to create the eat-in kitchen of your dreams, the kind where everyone ends up gathering.

The private wing is a retreat unto itself. A hallway leads to three generously proportioned bedrooms. All bedrooms feature windowed en suite bathrooms, wonderful light, and spacious closets.

Completed in 1926, 888 Park Avenue is a full-service prewar known for white-glove attention. A 24-hour doorman, resident manager, handyman, and porter anticipate your every need. A fitness center and private storage add everyday convenience.
