785 Park Avenue Apt: 17BC

New York, NY 10021

A minimalist masterpiece by Michael Gabellini, FAIA, this very sophisticated and sun-flooded residence is surrounded by gorgeous, expansive terraces. Conceptually unified and with extraordinary attention to detail, fabrication, and materials, the apartment is sublime. With four exposures, the glamorous, sun-flooded rooms of this apartment are presented as a serene horizontal spatial field defined by French plaster walls and ceilings, and a continuous, honed limestone floor. The living spaces are treated as connecting, open courtyards articulated by striking volumes of ribbon mahogany. The dramatic Living Room is immense. Facing west over Park Avenue, it opens to two bookmatched terraces with southern views down Park Avenue and extraordinary western views of Central Park and the iconic Rosario Candela buildings that flank East 73rd Street across the Avenue. Nearby, an open Library accesses a gorgeous Guest Bedroom Suite by way of extraordinary bespoke glass and steel rolling doors. Within the Bedroom Suite, an ensuite bath glows with translucent glass walls. The open Library also adjoins the well-proportioned Dining Room. Perfect for entertaining, it opens to a large east-facing Terrace and to the sleekly-designed stainless steel chef’s Kitchen. The Kitchen is supremely functional as well as stylish. Beyond, there is an Office with a convenient murphy bed and a full Bath. Gloriously sunny and serene, the expansive Primary Bedroom benefits from southern and western exposures and incorporates two spacious dressing closets. Its very tranquil ensuite Bathroom features hand-selected and carved marble sinks and translucent glass walls. Conceived with an art collector in mind, Michael Gabellini's design incorporates floating walls and thoughtful sightlines and focal points. Further, the apartment benefits from gallery lighting and hanging systems, as well as triple-paned windows: throughout the residence, light is well placed, and the apartment is extraordinarily silent. With an ideal and highly desirable Upper East Side location, 785 Park Avenue is a prewar cooperative with impeccable service. Amenities include a state-of-the-art private fitness center, individual storage bins, and a beautifully landscaped roof garden. Offered in impeccable condition, this gorgeous and architecturally significant apartment is an exceptionally stylish oasis. 50% Financing Permitted; 2% Flip Tax paid by buyer; Pets are welcome.
