Just renovated in full, this uniquely large corner three-bedroom/three-bathroom home spanning 2,391 square feet enjoys two entrances and an enormous living/dining room with adjacent library/media room in the full-service, pre-War 502 Park Avenue. With southern and eastern views up and down Park Avenue, it is located at the perfect New York intersection of Park and East 59th Street, where the Upper East Side begins.
13 windows overlook the verdant Park Avenue to the east and 59th Street to the south, giving the home wonderful light and great New York City cityscape views. Its contemporary renovation complements the beloved pre-War elements of a grand layout, beamed 9' ceilings, and handsome hardwood flooring, including herringbone. The sound-attenuated windows make the home tranquil throughout the day.
The home can be entered through its main entrance into a grand foyer-great for artwork- that connects the entertaining wing to the bedroom wing. A second entrance into the apartment opens into a mud room and laundry room in the bedroom wing of the home-great for the day-to-day.
The 34'-long corner living and dining room is open to a chef's kitchen with large island, abundant counter space and cabinetry, and all new full-size appliances. Off of the living/dining room is a large open library/media room with a dry bar closet and a beautiful Parisian built-in cabinet with shelving on either side.
All three bedrooms are generous in size, with southern exposures. All have large closets. The primary bedroom at the end of the hallway has an enormous, fully built-out walk-in closet, in addition to a secondary large closet. The primary bathroom has double vanities and a large standing shower. The two other full bathrooms have tubs.
502 Park Avenue is a 1927-built, pre-War tower that once housed the famous Hotel Delmonico (where the Beatles first met Bob Dylan!). A full-service condominium, it features a 24-hour concierge, additional doorperson, live-in resident manager, and a large fitness center with myriad state-of-the-art equipment.
Located at the absolutely prime corner of Park Avenue and East 59th Street, the building enjoys the world-class shopping, dining (including local neighborhood restaurants), and cultural amenities of the Upper East Side and East 50s, as well as the convenient commute to Midtown and beyond. The 4/5/6 and N/Q/R/W 59th Street stations at Lexington and Fifth Avenues are two short blocks away, as well as the Q-line station at 63rd Street/Lexington and the E/M 53rd Street station at Park/Madison Avenues. Central Park is two short blocks away.
The Upper East Side has a reputation of wealth and opulence. Once home to the wealthiest New Yorkers (like the Kennedys, the Roosevelts, and the Rockefellers), the UES is filled with ornate and beautiful buildings. Today, the Upper East Side is still considered one of the more expensive neighborhoods, however, in recent years, it has begun to see younger arrivals (people in their 20s and 30s) who are finding better deals up north, away from the Lower East Side and/or hip Williamsburg.
With the completion of the 2nd Avenue train, the neighborhood is only becoming more accessible to everyone as previously the only train servicing the UEW was the 4,5,6 on Lexington Avenue. Even better, the further east you go, the cheaper the apartments get. All this is only adding on to the interest from renters who no longer have to commute for as long to get to the area.
The Upper East Side contains some smaller neighborhoods such as Yorkville, Lenox Hill, Carnegie…
