1001 Park Ave. #5S

This delightful home has undergone a meticulous Art Deco restoration of an oversized classic six room apartment, with the chic and glamorous results featured in design publications and on Art Deco Society of New York tours. Entrance from a large double elevator landing is into the gallery with a short flight of steps curving up to wide French doors to the living room with wood burning fireplace and dining room and a sunny southern outlook. A separate hallway leads to the corner master bedroom with fireplace, windowed bathroom, walk in closet and a lovely view onto Park Avenue and the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola. The second bedroom and bathroom are opposite, both with Park Avenue exposures. A library/third bedroom is just off the living room and has a northern exposure. The windowed kitchen and pantry, along with a large staff room with full bathroom and washer/dryer complete the extremely generous layout. A storage bin also conveys with the property, and there are new windows and thru-wall HVAC units throughout. Originally built as a coop in 1929, apartments varied from floor to floor, with different ceiling heights between the public and private rooms and a few steps up or down as needed. This much sought after white glove building is highly serviced and located within the newly designated Park Avenue Historic District. It is also pet friendly.
