Property Description
Welcome to a truly special Park Avenue residence that seamlessly blends classic pre-war elegance with thoughtful modern updates. This quiet corner two-bedroom, one-bath home sits in an intimate boutique building with just two apartments per floor, offering both privacy and exclusivity. A gracious entry foyer opens into an expansive living room with the scale to accommodate multiple seating areas—perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. Rich in character, the space is highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace with a handsome mantel, soaring 9.5-foot beamed ceilings, beautifully preserved herringbone hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and oversized windows for natural light.
The chef's kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, range, and integrated microwave, complemented by striking granite countertops and generous cabinetry. Just off the kitchen, a charming dining alcove easily seats six, creating an inviting setting for intimate dinners. The primary bedroom is exceptionally well-proportioned, featuring two large windows, a substantial walk-in closet, and a windowed en-suite bath. The second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or nursery. Additional highlights include a semi-private elevator landing, excellent closet space throughout, and a dedicated storage locker in the basement.
Built in 1922 by the esteemed Fred F. French Company, 55 Park Avenue is a meticulously maintained boutique co-op offering full-service amenities, including a full-time doorman/elevator operator, live-in superintendent, and on-site laundry. Ideally positioned on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Park Avenue, the building is just moments from Grand Central, providing seamless access to multiple subway lines, Metro-North, and crosstown transit. Residents enjoy close proximity to Bryant Park, as well as some of the city's most treasured cultural landmarks, dining, and shopping destinations. Pied-à-terre use and pets are considered on a case-by-case basis, and a 2% flip tax is paid by the purchaser. (Please note: living room and bedroom images are virtually staged.)
55 Park is a beautiful 100-year old Fred French building located between 37th & 38th Streets in Murray Hill. The building has 31 apartments, only two per floor, with the penthouse on the 16th floor. Each apartment has a working fireplace, maintained regularly by the building. There's a live-in superintendent with a small staff of six, including doormen who also operate the manual passenger
elevator.
It's just four short blocks to Grand Central, commuter trains and express/local subway lines. And little more than half a mile or 10 blocks to NYU Langone Hospital at 32nd Street and First Avenue. Shareholders at 55 Park, appreciate this gem of a building. It's well-maintained with an excellent board. People feel safe and comfortable in the middle of the city. Owners of 4E enjoyed many wonderful years there, walked to work, retired to enjoy the city around them. Someone is going to be very grateful to find this apartment and join the small, special community here.
