This gorgeous pre-war co-op in the Art Deco masterpiece of a building at 895 Park Avenue — located in the heart of the Upper East Side — has just emerged from a to-the-studs renovation by a major designer.
A big trend in residential real estate that shows no sign of abating is that pretty much no one wants to buy a fixer-upper or undertake a major renovation themselves. People want new and done, and "Please, can I just move right in with my stuff?"
It accounts for just one of many reasons this East Side stunner is every bit in fashion.
Along with spectacular new finishes and furnishings, the reno reduced the room count from 14 to 12 to make the spaces roomier and included all of the not-sexy, behind-the-walls stuff that really matters. The four-bedroom corner apartment now features new four-zone central air conditioning, all new plumbing and wiring, Sonos sound, and Lutron lighting.
With 32 new Panorama windows and four exposures, 5C is flooded with bright natural light. Even the butler’s pantry, the laundry room, and the large dressing room in the primary bedroom suite have windows. Lavish architectural details like Chesney vapor fireplaces and high ceilings pair wonderfully with new specialty paint finishes and wall coverings, new custom millwork, bronze hardware, and plaster moldings.

The grandeur starts as soon as you step off the elevator, onto a private landing with walnut paneling and a floating marble bench, and then through a warbled glass front door into a gracious entrance gallery. The corner living room features four oversized windows and a wood-burning fireplace. Also on a corner, the primary suite offers tree-lined street views, a pair of oversized closets and a marble-clad bathroom with an oversized shower, two sinks, and a separate water closet. There are another three oversized bedrooms, all en suite and with dressing rooms.
Let’s make our way back to that wonderful windowed kitchen, which features a Belgian marble sink and another clad in brass, a vented hood, and a fleet of appliances by Sub-Zero and Miele along with an AGA Mercury induction range with five burners, a broiler and two ovens.
With grandly proportioned rooms, including a corner library with a fireplace and restored paneling with hand-painted 18-carat gold detailing, the apartment is designed for easy and elegant entertaining. The sit-down dining options include a formal dining room with French doors, custom built-ins, handsome walnut paneling and a fireplace, an informal dining room with seating for 12, and a large kitchen island with seating for four. And there are two large coat closets and a jewel of a powder room for your guests.

Designed by Sloan & Robertson, the 19-story 1930 building has just 38 apartments, with amenities that include a health club, a squash court, a basketball court and private storage. With pre-war Art Deco details and a like-new modern apartment in a great, great neighborhood, you get the best of both worlds--old New York charm and a modern redesign and upgrade. And someone else did all of the heavy lifting.
