About This Home
Rare perfection on Park Avenue is rarely this complete and thoughtfully designed! With all windows facing Park Avenue's trees, the apartment is remarkably quiet-offering a true sense of retreat in the middle of the city. Fully renovated down to the studs, this exceptional residence was reimagined with a clear vision: to honor the building's original character while introducing a refined, modern sensibility. The result is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly current-more reminiscent of a boutique luxury hotel than a traditional apartment. At the heart of the home sits its defining focal point: a stunning decorative fireplace, anchoring the living space and setting the tone for the entire design. From there, every element was intentionally curated to bridge old and new. A sculptural clawfoot tub nods to classic elegance, while the kitchen-designed to feel like a beautifully crafted furniture piece-brings warmth and subtle sophistication to everyday living. A striking iron door with beveled glass creates separation between the living room and second bedroom, adding architectural interest while maintaining light and flow. Throughout the home, a soft, neutral palette is layered with delicate green undertones-subtly drawing your eye to the treetops just beyond the windows. The connection to nature is immediate and calming from the moment you enter. The chef's kitchen is an entertainer's dream, centered around a dramatic 9.5-foot Taj Mahal quartzite island and outfitted with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and bespoke lighting. It flows seamlessly into a gracious dining area that comfortably seats six. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring heated floors, a clawfoot soaking tub, a glass-enclosed wet room shower, and a separate vanity-creating a spa-like experience at home. A beautifully executed second bedroom doubles as a flexible space, complete with a custom-designed Murphy bed and ample storage, easily transitioning between guest suite and home office. Additional features include: -In-unit washer and dryer -Upgraded electrical system -New PTAC HVAC systems -Abundant custom storage throughout Residents enjoy access to a stunning rooftop terrace with sweeping city views, a fully equipped fitness center, and additional storage-all within a well-run building with notably low maintenance. Just moments from Central Park, world-class museums, and some of the city's best dining and shopping-and just minutes to the Q line-this is Park Avenue living at its most elevated and convenient. 785 Park Avenue allows for pied-a-terre purchases.
