Property Description

This magnificent 7,200 square foot, high-floor triplex with breathtaking Central Park views combines the grandeur of a townhouse with the services and security of a white-glove cooperative. The crown jewel of the residence: a soaring living room with double-height coffered ceilings overlooking Central Park and the beautiful, landmarked townhouses of East 79th Street. Formerly the personal ball room of the Dutch Ambassador, the space has since feted presidents, celebrities, and Nobel Prize laureates. The building is an exquisite example of pre-war architecture, just as etiquette authority Emily Post intended when she commissioned the Cooperative in 1926. This pristine apartment has had a recent renovation and is in mint condition, with beautifully finished kitchens and baths. Accessed via a private elevator landing and a grand set of custom mahogany doors, the apartment features: • 9 bedrooms: 8 en-suite family Bedrooms, each with extensive custom cabinetry; plus a first floor en-suite staff Bedroom. • A palatial, light-filled 1,000 ± square foot primary Bedroom suite with stunning South and West exposures, sunset views over Central Park, two oversized custom Dressing Areas, and a spa-like marble Bath with double sinks, a walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub; • 10.5 renovated Bathrooms, all with windows; • Separate Chef’s and Catering Kitchens, with open-concept, eat-in layouts, Carrera marble countertops, custom cabinetry, Nanz hardware, and premium appliances (Sub-Zero, Miele, Wolf, wine refrigeration, etc); • A Formal Dining Room, with fireplace, which flows into the eat-in Chef’s Kitchen; • A sun-filled Game Room for casual entertaining with space for Ping-Pong and Billiards; • A Library with custom bookshelves; • Five functional gas fireplaces, four of which have marble mantles; • A striking grand circular staircase seamlessly connecting all three floors; in addition, all three levels can be accessed discreetly via a building elevator; • Space for Fitness and Home office; • A large, windowed Mudroom with custom built-ins; • A large laundry room with commercial washer & dryer, conveniently located on the bedroom floor, with an additional washer/dryer in the catering kitchen; • A ground-floor Studio with an en-suite bathroom that could be used for staff, office, or flex space; • Extraordinary storage with over 20 large closets, including five oversized walk-ins, and three additional private, full-size walk-in locked storage units (totaling 200± sq. ft.) that transfer with the sale, alongside access to the building’s Bike Storage Room; • Open views from all four exposures which offer brilliantly light-filled rooms throughout the day and spectacular sunsets during cocktails and dinner. One of the largest and most elegant homes on the Upper East Side, this apartment is set within a white-glove, full-service prewar Cooperative. Residents enjoy the highest level of personalized service, including a 24-hour Doorman, a live-in Resident Manager, and dedicated Handymen and Porters. The building is pet friendly. Perfectly located just a block from Central Park, this exceptional home is moments from schools, world-class museums, fine dining, and luxury hotels. This extraordinary triplex is without equal on the Upper East Side—a residence designed for remarkable entertaining and serene, private living.
