1100 Park Ave. #4A

The ‘A’ line at 1100 Park Avenue is rarely available and is considered to be one of a handful of the most coveted, aristocratic apartment lines among the top tier of Park Avenue’s colossal, grand, family apartments. Apartment 4 A (an original 11 into 10 rooms) features: a private elevator vestibule; immense, beautifully proportioned and stately rooms — a ‘ballroom’ size south-east facing corner living room centered by a working gas fireplace; an imposing formal dining room and vast front hall gallery which you can dance in as well; a commodious paneled library accented by a wood-burning fireplace — and soaring ceilings through-out the entire apartment replete with original architectural detail. There is an oversized eat-in-kitchen and butler’s pantry with top-of-the-line-appliances, a home office/den/maid’s room. The public areas and private chambers are deployed in a gracious and practical design and given maximum separation by a lengthy and elegant hallway. The private area consists of three large-scale bedrooms with baths en suite and a fourth bedroom or den/study with access to a bath. The apartment is in excellent condition having been recently renovated, with beautiful decorative custom finishes; it has been wonderfully maintained and constantly improved during the 19 year tenure of the present owner — yet still retaining a lovely ‘old world’ patina redolent of the grand age of Manhattan prewar architecture. There are four exposures and all major rooms are swept and burnished by eastern and western sunlight. Apartment 4 A offers the best possible combination for practical, serene family living and elegant, formal entertaining. 1100 Park Avenue is a fully staffed ‘white glove’ building with all amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness room/gym, ample private storage and is located literally at the top of ‘Carnegie Hill’, thought by many to be Manhattan’s loveliest and most congenial neighborhood, steps from the jogging paths and tranquillity
