Description

With a wonderful and expansive floor plan, this beautifully renovated and very attractive three-bedroom Carnegie Hill residence is splendid in every way. Elegantly proportioned rooms, a recent renovation, and a modern sensibility are complemented by coveted prewar detail, such as high, beamed ceilings, classic moldings and millwork, and beautiful herringbone floors. From the semi-private elevator landing, a spacious Gallery leads to a gracious Living Room / Dining Room, now combined to form an enormous light-filled space featuring a wood-burning fireplace and large windows with bright, open outlooks. This grandly-proportioned and impressive room is perfect for large-scale entertaining. Adjacent, a handsome and convenient Library is separated by pocket doors and lined with bookcases. Nearby, the windowed chef’s Kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances and custom finishes. Sleekly modern and white, the Kitchen is open to the adjoining Butler’s Pantry, with ample storage and a banquette for casual dining. These are supported by a Laundry/Utility Room and a full bathroom. Private quarters include a large Primary Bedroom with two large closets, custom built-ins, and an ensuite marble Bathroom with a separate shower and soaking tub. Two additional Bedrooms share a windowed marble Bathroom. All three Bedrooms are south-facing for glorious afternoon sunlight and overlook the immaculately landscaped interior courtyard garden and fountain. Rounding out this delightful home are many modern conveniences, such as central air conditioning, a built-in sound system, Sonos, and Nest, as well as a Powder Room and abundant closets. With its distinctive entrance portico, spectacular central courtyard garden, and very thoughtful plan by architects Schwartz & Gross, 1185 Park Avenue remains one of the most prestigious and coveted addresses in Carnegie Hill. Notably, the building’s design, with six distinct entrances around the courtyard, ensures that each landing is semi-private. Further, the residences within benefit from flexible and elegant floor plans, large and welcoming entrance galleries, and grandly proportioned rooms. Ideally located moments from Central Park and in the very heart of the desirable Carnegie Hill neighborhood, it is also convenient to many of the city’s best private schools and museums. 1185 Park Avenue is a white-glove pre-war cooperative offering its residents exceptional service as well as a wide range of amenities, such as private storage, a state-of-the-art gym, a children's playroom, a delightful roof garden, bicycle and pram storage, and a newly renovated common laundry room. Pets are welcome. Listing courtesy of Sothebys International Realty ...
