Description

Introducing a rare opportunity to create an extraordinary residence in one of Park Avenue’s most prestigious prewar cooperatives. Defined by magnificent proportions, original architectural details, and exceptional scale, this Classic 9 offers the perfect canvas to craft a timeless Park Avenue home.

A semi-private landing opens to a dramatic 30 foot gallery that introduces the home’s impressive layout. Nearly 10 foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, abundant storage, and beautifully preserved prewar details provide the foundation for a truly exceptional residence.

The grand south facing living room features imported European oak paneling, a wood burning fireplace, and exceptional proportions that comfortably accommodate multiple seating areas. A decorative stained glass window, installed by a previous owner and not original to the building, can be removed to reveal two oversized south facing windows that flood the room with natural light. Pocket doors connect the adjacent library, offering flexibility as a sophisticated den, home office, or fourth bedroom.

The expansive primary suite features two walk-in closets and a windowed en-suite bathroom with an additional storage closet. Two additional oversized bedrooms offer generous closet space and custom millwork, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other adjoining the library.

Designed for elegant entertaining, the formal dining room easily accommodates large gatherings, while the spacious eat-in kitchen is complemented by two staff rooms, currently configured with a home office, an additional full bathroom, and a full size vented washer and dryer. Central air conditioning can be installed.

983 Park Avenue, designed by the renowned architectural firm Schwartz & Gross in 1927, is one of Park Avenue’s most prestigious prewar cooperatives. Residents enjoy a 24 hour doorman, live-in resident manager, fitness center, basketball court, bike room, central laundry room and private storage. Located on Park Avenue and 83rd Street, the building offers easy access to Central Park, Museum Mile, world-class dining, Madison Avenue shopping, top rated schools and public transportation. The building is pet friendly, permits up to 50% financing and has a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. A private storage cage transfers with the apartment.
