55 Park Ave. #13W

Introducing this expansive two bedroom, two bathroom residence in a boutique building on Park Avenue with a wood burning fireplace and iconic New York City views.

A lovely foyer welcomes you into the home, and provides a place to set down your keys before entering the gracious oversized living space. Original hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and a built-in bookcase add to the character and charm of the apartment, and oversized windows provide ample light and air. Breathtaking views of the Empire State building unfold from every room, lighting up the city skyline every evening as you relax and settle down from a busy day by a crackling fire.

The windowed kitchen provides ample cabinet and counter space and a grandfathered gas range, and any New York City chef can easily create delightful meals for company to be enjoyed in the home’s separate dining room with corner windows and commanding views of the Chrysler Building and Grand Central. A secret hidden bar with wine rack and refrigerator is perfect for entertaining, amplifying the apartment’s pre war charm.

The primary bedroom easily fits a king sized bed and two dressers, and enjoys both southern and western corner exposure. For fashionistas, the closet space here is abundant, with an entire wall of storage in the bedroom and another in the hall. From the windowed primary bath you can see the river, adding a touch of interest to your morning routine.

With only two homes per floor, 55 Park Avenue feels intimate, elegant, and comfortable. A doorman is always in attendance, who knows everyone in the building by name. Park Avenue Tavern is right up the street, with passionfruit margaritas and a warm and cozy vibe, and the Morgan Dining Room, Capital Grille and many other restaurants and cafes pepper the neighborhood. Grand Central Station is just a few blocks north, making the location one of the most convenient in all of New York. Easily walkable to NYPL, Bryant Park, St. Vartan playground, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods.
