Stunning, elegant south-facing Rosario Candela 12-room classic in lovely renovated condition. Architecturally updated for today's living, with restored original details including six-panel solid mahogany doors, brass olive hinge hardware, herringbone floors, and plaster moldings. The grand entrance gallery forms an impressive fulcrum from which all the public rooms are accessed. A massive corner living room faces south and east onto leafy Park Avenue, with lovely sunlight, grand proportions, and a wood-burning fireplace. A gracious paneled dining room also faces east onto Park Avenue. Adjoining the living room through mahogany French doors, the sunny library and has custom millwork and a second marble wood-burning fireplace. A private hallway provides privacy from the public rooms and leads to four large bedrooms with marble baths and fittings by Waterworks. A large media room could easily be a fifth bedroom, and has another Waterworks private bath. There is an excellent laundry room with ample storage, and a vented Miele washer dryer. The dream kitchen features a center island with butcher block counters, custom glass-fronted cabinetry, white marble counters, a 48-inch vented Viking range and two Sub-zero refrigerators. A windowed breakfast area has built-in banquette seating, and enormous pantry with a temperature controlled wine room leads back into the formal dining room. The apartment also has zoned central air conditioning, a sound system throughout, and six over six Pella architect series windows. Serenely and traditionally decorated, this apartment is an oasis in one of Carnegie Hill's best Rosario Candela buildings. 1220 Park Avenue is a full service cooperative with a gym, private storage, bike room, and a live-in resident manager. 50% financing is permitted and pets are welcome.
