740 Park Avenue 2/3D

Located in one of Rosario Candelas finest Park Avenue prewar cooperatives, the journey begins when you step out from the private elevator vestibule into the spacious 25 entrance gallery of this graciously proportioned 15-room home. The entrance gallery has elegantly patterned parquet floors and a dramatic sweeping circular staircase. The exceptional details throughout this apartment were designed by internationally-acclaimed architect, Alan Wanzenberg and are of the highest quality and finest craftsmanship. Bathed in natural light, the apartment features grand-scale rooms perfect for lavish entertaining or intimate gatherings. The South-East facing corner 37 living room has large windows framing treetop cityscape views, a wood-burning fireplace and a set of French doors that lead to a private terrace. The adjacent library also has a wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle and handsome custom wood paneling. The 25 formal dining room has large West-facing windows as well as an adjacent private dining room. Past the dining room is the kitchen and staff wing. The eat-in Chef's kitchen has custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances from Viking and Sub-Zero and an adjacent wine storage area. There are four staff rooms and two baths with a separate stair allowing access the upper level. The journey continues to the upper level of the apartment which houses a South-facing master bedroom suite with a sitting room, dressing room, and a master bath with custom wood paneling, dual marble sinks, marble flooring, soaking tub and separate stall shower. Three other bedrooms, each with ensuite baths, a den and a laundry room with storage are also on this level. 740 Park is an architectural Art Deco masterpiece. The building was constructed in 1929 by James T. Lee, the grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and was designed by Rosario Candela and Arthur Loomis Harmon. The building was converted to a cooperative by John D. Rockefeller Jr. who resided in the building for many years. This white-glove prewar building offers residents the highest level of service and privacy.
