Perched on the 9th and 10th floors of 830 Park Avenue, a premier turn-of-the-century white-glove co-operative, this spectacular sun-flooded corner home is a true architectural masterpiece. Expertly designed by Mitchell Studios and executed by John Hummel and Associates, no expense was spared utilizing the best of materials and systems while restoring the elegance of old-world detail. With 10-foot ceilings on both floors, there are three to four bedrooms, three full renovated marble bathrooms, and an elegant powder room. Each room of this glamorous home has generous scale, oversized new windows, and bountiful natural light. There is a wood-burning fireplace, radiant heat in all the full bathrooms, custom moldings and millwork, and Waterworks fixtures, fittings, and marble. All mechanical elements of this sophisticated home have been fully modernized including three-zone central air conditioning and a Control4 Home Automation system that controls the lighting and music systems.
Off a semi-private elevator landing is a foyer with a large coat closet which opens onto an impressive 29-foot-long drawing room/library which houses the wood burning fireplace.

There is a windowed staff room that is currently being used as a laundry room with an Electrolux washer and vented dryer, a sink, and endless amounts of storage. Completing the public spaces is a magnificent new powder room.
