630 Park Avenue, 5B (不能交易)

Designed in 1916 by master architect and builder J. E.R. Carpenter, 630 Park Avenue is a distinguished and classically elegant Upper East Side address. Perfectly located, it is convenient to many of New York City’s best restaurants, museums, and galleries, and is but moments to the idyllic pleasures of Central Park. This exceptional residence has had the rare and enviable fortune to retain the original oak paneling and carved plaster ceiling from 1916 in its Living Room. In addition, the scale and proportions throughout the apartment are gorgeous, and beautiful restored herringbone hardwood floors, soaring high ceilings, and period moldings abound. Delightfully, these highly-coveted classic details are underpinned by a thorough and superbly executed renovation overseen by internationally renowned interior designer David Kleinberg. Its opulent yet understated aesthetic is supported by new systems and luxuries, such as central air conditioning, heated bathroom floors, a comprehensive Sonos system, and museum-quality lighting. The Gallery, with a dramatic coved ceiling and coffered paneling opens to the very splendid Living Room. Wrapping the northeast corner of the building and with grandly proportioned windows, the Living Room has dazzling light and wonderfully open outlooks over Park Avenue, the iconic Armory, and the treetops of 66th Street. The painstakingly restored paneling, hand-finished with silver leaf, incorporates many intricately carved details, which also feature in the wood-burning fireplace’s surround. Nearby, there is an elegantly-proportioned Dining Bay with a built-in velvet upholstered banquette as well as a separate bar with ample, 200-bottle wine storage and cabinets. Beyond, an efficient and beautifully appointed chef’s Kitchen boasts state-of-the-art appliances, Pietra Cardosa stone countertops, and a lacquered coffered ceiling and cabinets. Private quarters, separated from the rest of the residence by a hallway, include a tranquil and spacious Primary Bedroom with a pristine white Bianco Dolomiti marble bathroom and a capacious walk-in closet. There is one further Bedroom with handsome, wood-paneled built-ins and another bathroom, elegantly clad in marble and onyx. Nearby is a convenient laundry closet with Miele appliances. Both Bedrooms have open and pretty outlooks over Park Avenue, glorious sunlight, and very ample closets. 630 Park Avenue is a premier white-glove cooperative. Impeccable staffing includes a full-time doorman and a resident manager, and amenities include a state-of-the-art private fitness center, generously-sized dedicated individual storage bins, and bicycle storage.
