580 Park Ave. #8B

Built in 1923, 580 Park Avenue is one of J.E.R. Carpenter’s crowning architectural achievements. Its beautiful marble lobby with coffered ceiling spans one city block between 63rd and 64th Streets. Situated high above the building’s four floor limestone base is 8B, a graciously proportioned and elegant cooperative apartment. Upon entry from the semi private landing, an impressive 34 foot gallery leads to 2 separate bedrooms with en-suite baths. Both rooms look east over Park Avenue with lovely church views. At the end of the gallery is an exceptionally large living room, 43 feet in length with both western and eastern views and a wood burning fireplace. One could easily create a dining room in this incredible space. A large eat in kitchen has a charming western exposure overlooking neighboring townhouses. It is accompanied by a generously sized butler’s pantry equipped with washer dryer. A staff bedroom and full bath complete this pre-war home characterized by its 9 foot ceilings, herringbone floors and 8 over 8 paned windows that allow for excellent light. There is abundant closet space throughout. Private storage conveys with the purchase.
