550 Park Ave Fl 12E

Welcome to Residence 12E at 550 Park Avenue-a distinguished high-floor home in one of Lenox Hill's most prestigious pre-war cooperatives. This approximately 4592 SF, grand apartment is a shining example of the Golden Age of New York architecture. Designed by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter in the 1920s, the residence is defined by its scale, elegance, and thoughtful layout. Off the central gallery, a large 40 x 18 great room with 11-foot ceilings and oversized windows capture abundant natural light from the north and east. Just beyond, a formal dining room with the capacity to comfortably host 20+ guests sets the stage for refined entertaining. The chef's kitchen is outfitted for serious culinary endeavors and is supported by a butler's pantry, a dedicated staff office, a generous storage room, and in-unit laundry. A den/library-also off the central entry gallery-and a large powder room complete the northern portion of the home. Down the private southern corridor, four spacious bedrooms each feature en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets, with two corner bedrooms offering enhanced natural light and privacy. With its classic herringbone walnut floors, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and considerable storage space, Residence 12E is ideal for multi-generational living and an exceptional canvas for timeless living. Completed in 1917, 550 Park Avenue stands as one of Manhattan's premier white-glove cooperatives.
