1165 Park Ave. #4A

Old world elegance abounds in this gracious and expansive home situated in the sought-after neighborhood of Carnegie Hill. Located on Park Avenue, a beloved boulevard on the Upper East Side’s ‘Gold Coast’, this classic 8-room apartment retains the original design and beautiful details that make prewar construction so desirable. Western views over Park Avenue in most rooms provide abundant sunlight throughout the day.

A side-by-side formal expanse and expanded eat-in kitchen provides this gracious layout with a fabulous flow for entertaining on a large-scale. Beautiful natural light, a 50’ formal expanse and high-beamed ceilings enhances the overall scale of the apartment. Wonderfully maintained by the same owner for several decades, this sprawling three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home is flexible with abundant storage and is well-suited for the new owner’s customization. Elegant old-world original details including high-beamed ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle, pristine crown and baseboard moldings and an extended 25’ formal gallery that offers a distinct elegance.

There is a wonderful separation between formal entertaining and private living with three very spacious bedrooms occupying a distinct wing of the home. All three bedrooms are over 20’ long with oversized windows drawing in wonderful western light and views overlooking Park Avenue. The very impressive master suite features two walk-in closets and a full bathroom. The second and third bedrooms share a full bath with each its own walk-in closet. A large den-media-home office or guest room off the formal spaces also boasts a half bath (easily convertible back to the original layout’s full bathroom). The windowed kitchen with washer / dryer also adds to the flexibility of the layout with a large, adjacent room currently serving as a pantry but can easily be converted to an expanded eat-in area, home office or staff room.

This wonderful sun-filled prewar classic home, in a highly sought-after Carnegie Hill building on Park Avenue, preserves the beautiful detail and grandly proportioned rooms that are eternally appealing and serve perfectly for entertaining on a large scale.

The white glove building’s outstanding staff includes a 24-hour doorman, concierge, and live-in superintendent. Amenities include a state-of-the-art gym, playroom, central laundry room, as well as resident storage and bicycle room. A storage room transfers with the apartment. Pets are permitted.
