Townhouse living on Park Avenue within a premiere Co-op: 830 Park Avenue Maisonette A

830 Park Avenue's Maisonette A is, quite simply, one of the Upper East Side's truly unique offerings. Featuring its own Park Avenue entrance, this elegantly proportioned residence combines the privacy of a townhouse with the amenities of a classic apartment building. Newly renovated down to the studs and designed by acclaimed architect Heather Faulding of 4+ Architecture & Design, Maisonette A contains nothing less than a world unto itself.

Accessed through an elevated neo-classical portal, the 36' wide principal floor features a majestic formal salon, replete with chevron French oak doors, 9'8" ceilings and Park Avenue views. Designed for entertaining, a wet bar features a 48-bottle Miele wine refrigerator and ice maker, open glass backlit shelving and a recessed half-door for staff.

A designer chef's kitchen with an eat-in dining peninsula is matched by a dining banquette that seats eight.Calacatta slab counters, custom cabinetry with hand-crafted metalwork detail and walnut interiors, and Miele and Thermador appliances, including a steam oven and induction range, offer everything needed for entertaining. A luxurious half-bath for guest use is adjacent to the salon.

A recessed passageway leads to the king-sized primary suite, with large windows overlooking East 76^th Street. Customized closets in leather and wood and a bio-metric safe are offset by the spa-like windowed bathroom, finished in travertine and featuring radiant heated floors, a double step-in Grohe shower, free-standing soaking tub and double vanity.

A dramatic molded concrete stair leads down to a second floor, also graced by lofty 9'8" ceilings. Two spacious bedrooms are paired with two full baths, the latter finished in Statuario and Thassos marble and appointed with steam showers and radiant heat. A media lounge provides a stylish place for film night, incorporating lacquered cabinetry and steel-and-glass partitioned doors; this could also easily make a fourth bedroom or home office.

Other highlights and details include: triple insulated Kolbe windows; Savant smart home system controlling Lighting, Audio, Visual, HVAC, Shades and Keyless Entry; six zones of HVAC running via a high-powered Mitsubishi exterior condensing system which generates both cool air and heat for all-season climate control, extensive soundproofing; ample laundry space; and a storage unit that transfers with the property.

Located on the west side of Park Avenue at 76th Street, 830 Park Avenue was built in 1913 to designs by the celebrated partnership of George and Edward Blum. Maisonette A shares all of its features and services, including a full-time doorman and resident building manager. 50% financing allowed: pets and pied- -terre are permitted with board approval. 2.5% flip tax paid by purchaser. Madison Avenue shopping and the Museum Mile are steps away; 6 train a block away at Lexington. A rare chance to obtain an immaculate urban oasis.
