Finally, an opportunity to buy a rarely available classic 6 in the A Line in 1075 Park in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Its bones, floor plan and light are superb, and the apartment is on a scale that is grand even by prewar classic six standards. The floors are hard wood strip oak and the ceilings are 9 feet. Prewar details abound throughout in the millwork and frames.
The elevator opens on to a semi-private landing and from there one enters a small foyer with two very large closets, and then to a wide center gallery, out from which open all the rooms.
At the end is a generously sized (24' x 19' ) living room, on the corner, boasting two exposures and 4 windows with a wood burning fireplace. The adjacent formal dining room can easily seat 10 and is also filled with light.
On the opposite side of the gallery is the 2nd bedroom, now configured as a library with full bath ensuite and a walk- in closet. An extra door leads to the hall for the primary bedroom insuring privacy for both. The primary bedroom is another very spacious corner room with two exposures, and again full of light. A king size bed fits easily with room for a sitting area and dressers. Its bath is ensuite and its closet is a walk-in. There is a bonus closet just outside the bedroom. Both baths have windows.
A butler’s pantry with bar sink and washer/dryer leads not only to the dining room, but to the windowed kitchen, which was updated 20 years ago. It has granite countertops, custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Adjacent to it is a staff room now a very efficient home office with its own half bath. It is situated such that it will work very well as a powder room for guests.
Air conditioning can be thru wall (there is one unit in place now) or a central system could be put in. There are several window units in the apartment currently.
1075 Park Avenue is well established a full service building with a resident manager and 24/7 doormen. Besides a state of the art fitness center, it has a central laundry room and a bike room. The apartment transfers with a private storage bin. Pets are welcome. There is a flip tax of 2.5%, payable by the purchaser.
