Prominently featured in Architectural Digest and impeccably transformed by celebrated architect and designer Russell Groves, this exceptional home spans 5,200 sq. ft. offers 3-4 bedrooms, 3 full and 3 half baths across two floors with 705 sq. ft. of private terraces. Sweeping views of Park Avenue, the city skyline, and Central Park greet you at every turn.
The main level unfolds as a seamless sequence of living and entertaining spaces. An expansive corner living and dining room is bathed in southern and western light, opening directly onto a terrace with sweeping, unobstructed views over Park Avenue and Central Park. The spectacular chef's kitchen is as beautiful as it is exceptionally functional, framed by a generous wall of north-facing windows and finished with Calacatta marble countertops and custom lacquered Boffi cabinetry. Designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining, it is comprehensively outfitted with a Gaggenau six-burner cooktop with ceiling-mounted canopy, Gaggenau refrigerator and freezer, four additional refrigerator drawers, an icemaker, two Sub-Zero wine refrigerators, two Miele dishwashers, and a Miele double oven. Storage is abundant throughout, including an oversized walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator and freezer and extensive concealed storage. Impeccably designed, remarkably well equipped, and rarely found at this scale, this is a true dream kitchen.
A private bedroom wing offers two generously proportioned west-facing bedrooms with open city views, each served by its own beautifully appointed bath with Travertine stone floors, Travertine stone walls, and travertine-top vanities -- one featuring a glass-enclosed rain-shower stall, the other a deep glass-enclosed soaking tub. A dedicated laundry room with motion-activated lighting, Miele washer and dryer, utility sink, and custom storage cabinetry completes this wing.
A sculptural cantilevered staircase commands attention as you ascend to the upper level, its bamboo treads illuminated step by step and framed by cove-lit walnut handrails -- an architectural moment that sets the tone for what lies above. The upper level, also accessible directly from the 20th floor, leads out onto a generous south-facing terrace with open city views. A beautifully paneled office in custom bamboo cabinetry and lacquered walls echoes the rich millwork found throughout the home, complete with a discreet wet bar, beverage cooler and half bath. The room's versatility makes it an effortless conversion to a fourth or fifth bedroom. A second laundry room on this floor adds everyday convenience.
No detail was spared in the primary suite. A sprawling west-facing bedroom flows into a lavish bathroom with radiant-heated floors throughout, a freestanding soaking tub, a glass-enclosed windowed rain-shower stall, and multiple towel warmers. A private bathroom with smart lavatory adds a further layer of luxury. Twin travertine-top vanities paired with warm walnut surfaces anchor the space, and two generous walk-in closets finished in custom walnut shelving, integrated backlit mirrors, and dedicated vanity desks bring the suite to a perfect close. A private planted terrace off the bedroom completes this exceptional suite.
A Control4 smart home system manages lighting, climate, and AV seamlessly. Lucifer custom recessed lighting, multi-zone central air conditioning, and electronic shades in every window ensure the home is as effortless to live in as it is beautiful.
799 Park Avenue is a distinguished white-glove cooperative with 24-hour doorman, elevator operator, resident manager, on-site parking, a beautifully landscaped garden, and a newly renovated fitness center -- all just two blocks from Central Park.
