1001 Park Ave. #6S

A Shining Jewel in Park Avenue’s Crown! Rarely does a trophy apartment this grand and this exceptional become available for purchase on Park Avenue at such an ideal location! Occupying over half a floor, this sprawling 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,500 square foot residence enjoys incredibly open dual exposures both south and west. Flooded with natural light through 17 windows, the home flaunts panoramic Park Avenue views as well as directly overlooking the stunning spires of St. Ignatius Loyola Church.

In all ways, this residence embodies the features that makes prewar architecture so coveted and so impossible to replicate. One enters the home from a semi-private landing (shared with only one neighbor) into an elegant entrance gallery from which the rest of the residence radiates and where one first encounters the stunning hardwood herringbone floors that one finds throughout. Continue through dramatic double doors into the living room, which truly earns the title of a great room with its 33’ x 20’ dimensions, striking oversized windows framing open city views, soaring 11-foot ceilings, and one of the home’s two original wood burning fireplaces. Directly adjacent to the living room is the home’s dining room, which flaunts similarly grand proportions (20’ x 20’) and an additional wood burning fireplace. Each of the home’s three full bathrooms is windowed, adding to its appeal.

The home’s layout offers tremendous flexibility. For example, the windowed eat-in kitchen can easily be expanded to incorporate the adjacent butler’s pantry, doubling its size. The apartment is further enhanced by an in-unit washer/dryer and a private storage room in the basement.

Built in 1928 and designed by Pleasants Pennington and Albert W. Lewis for the T. E. Rhoades Company, 1001 Park Avenue is a stately building with white glove service and timeless appeal. Pets are permitted, as is up to 50% financing.
