Home of the Week: Palatial $30M Park Avenue residence spans three floors in Art Deco building

A palatial residence on the 16th, 17th and 18th floors of a prestigious white-glove co-op on Park Avenue has just hit the market for $29,750,000 — and it’s just as impressive as the Art Deco building it’s set in.

The massive 14-room residence spans three floors at 895 Park Avenue, an Art Deco masterpiece built in 1930 and designed by Sloan & Robertson, one of the major New York architectural firms of the 1920s and ’30s.

Following a down-to-the-studs renovation, the elegant residence is being brought to market by Coldwell Banker Warburg brokers Robert A. Schulman and Frederick Warburg Peters, and agent Samantha Rose Frith.

The home has over 6,000 square feet

With a total of 14 rooms, including 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and 2 half-bathrooms, the Park Avenue residence has over 6,000 square feet, with outdoor space adding more square footage.

Serviced by two internal elevators

The three-floor residence has building elevator access from all three levels, and private vestibule landings. But it also makes things more convenient for residents (and their guests) with two internal elevators that service the apartment.

With an impeccable white kitchen

The kitchen, set on the 16th floor, is classically designed with large gatherings in mind. All surfaces are clad in Carrara marble, with ample storage and top-of-the-line appliances. There is a home office just beyond the kitchen.

A sophisticated mahogany-paneled library

Also on the 16th floor is one of the home’s most impressive spaces, a mahogany-paneled library with a working marble fireplace and three French doors leading to a western terrace. Next to the library is the den or TV room with a decorative marble fireplace and access to its own terrace.

Formal living and dining spaces on the 17th floor

The home’s dramatic staircase leads to an expansive marble landing with a formal living room and a circular dining room — with mahogany inlaid flooring and a working marble fireplace. 

The 17th floor has its own fully equipped butler’s kitchen

The formal living room and dining room are serviced by a fully equipped butler’s kitchen, with the 17th floor also hosting staff quarters or a potential 5th guest bedroom and a full marble bathroom.

The bedrooms are on the 18th floor

One floor up, the primary bedroom suite includes his and her bathrooms, sitting and dressing rooms, and 15 windows and French doors offering multiple points of access to the outdoors.

The additional second, third and fourth bedrooms have their own marble en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. A large laundry room completes this floor.

With sizable terraces overlooking the city

There are private terraces spanning over 1,300 square feet with open views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park.

As the listing points out, apartments of this scale and condition on Park Avenue rarely become available. So we don’t expect to see this one on the market for long.
