U.S. Marshall Service Selling $28m NYC Duplex!
Located at one of New York's most prestigious addresses and in one of Park Avenue's most well known Rosario Candela buildings, you will find this magnificent duplex. The Georgian architectural marvel was originally designed to house 40 families in an H-shaped plan intended to provide maximum light and air to each apartment. Candela was known for the terraced setbacks rising to a domed penthouse as well as his respect for privacy and his eye for significant details. This is the building that turns one's thoughts to old money and residents with educated taste for historical elegance and the appreciation and practice of gracious living and entertaining.
We find ourselves unusually impressed with the layout of the apartment with its impressive grand gallery foyer with curving staircase that allows one to gaze into the formal rooms, tickling the imagination for pleasures yet to discover. Entering into the living room, you will notice huge single and double windows designed to end at 10" above the floor to provide a wash of sunlight and also command spectacular views of Park Avenue. With 14 rooms, the apartment has five bedrooms (or 4 bedrooms and sitting room), 5 full and 2 half baths. Once again appreciated by today's moderns is the wonderful butler's pantry and that the staff rooms are in a wing with separate entrance that also contains the laundry and closets for cleaning equipment. The first floor library is elegant with its built-ins as we have come to happily expect from that era, and you'll be happy to know the first floor also has a private family room where you can freely leave the Sunday Times spread out and no one need ever know!
Rarely does such an opportunity become available, so action will be required in the short term as the line will be a long one!
