A NYC PARK AVENUE APARTMENT
(Currently For Sale – c/o Serena Boardman, Sotheby’s Realty)
The beauty and warmth of this residence on Park Avenue is an excellent example of upscale, upper-east-side Manhattan, NYC traditional interiors.
Top-end NYC apartments have two basic approaches in lifestyle and design, Modern or Traditional.
1) Modern – Floor to ceiling glass windows, white walls, solid white (or dark) floors, contemporary white furniture, very simple staging, very clean lines throughout and large contemporary art displayed singularly on a large white wall – contemporary minimalism is the mantra.
New York City has had a recent boom in modern high-rise residential buildings, with very simple or even avant-garde designs, glass and metal exteriors, and built within the past ten to twenty years.
2) Traditional – Evoking the finest country homes of England and Europe and often designed with upholstered armchairs and couches, with deep feather cushions, wooden floors with carpets and fine dark wood paneling on the living room or study walls. Many rooms have coffered ceilings and this sophisticated environment can support Impressionist works, 20th-century paintings or the most contemporary art – everything fits-in beautifully. Usually, a centerpiece of the home is the wonderful dining room because entertaining at home and fine dining are a large part of this lifestyle – here comfort and a warm feeling of hospitality come first.
NYC’s Park Avenue is a neighborhood all of its own, with a tree-lined boulevard, well-trimmed grass, flowers gardens and often sculptural exhibitions all in the center dividing strip. Both sides of the avenue are lined with pre-war and mid-20th-century upscale and mostly brick, residential buildings.
Serena Boardman of Sotheby’s International Realty, Senior Global Real Estate Advisor/Associate Broker, was kind enough to let us share her photos and listing information so that we could showcase the residence as an excellent example of traditional upper east side apartments in New York City.
