834 Fifth Ave. #3/4C

This magnificent residence is situated in Fifth Avenue’s most notable building designed by Rosario Candela. It is a grand-scale duplex apartment with exquisite detail and perfectly proportioned rooms. The imposing entrance hall features an original Candela curved staircase which sweeps up to the bedroom floor. The paneled, 38 foot living room with its wood-burning fireplace and four huge windows facing Central Park is particularly impressive. It opens to a paneled library which features handsomely carved over doors; another wood-burning fireplace and a Central Park exposure. The luxurious dining room is perfect for the grandest of dinner parties. There is a large kitchen and an equally large pantry as well as a spacious breakfast room.. A surprise beyond the kitchen is a huge staff apartment which has a living room with kitchenette, two bedrooms, and one and one half baths. The natural light and the views into trees in back of the building are lovely. A cloak room and powder room complete the first floor.

The second floor’s gracious landing leads to a master suite with park views; wood-burning fireplace; extensive dressing area and bath. In addition, there are two other extremely large bedrooms, one of which faces the park and has a wood-burning fireplace. Both bedrooms have outsized, en suite baths. The layout of the four large staff rooms and full bath on this floor provides flexibility for the creation of extra bedrooms. The apartment comes with an outside staff room, laundry room, storage room and a wine cellar.
