Building: 240 Park Avenue South

Nestled in one of Manhattan’s prime locations in Flatiron with Gramercy Park and Union Square nearby, is 240 Park Avenue South. Not only is its Northwest corner of Park Avenue South and 19th Street one of the city’s most sought-after residential neighborhoods, but the building’s unique construction gives residents beautiful, light-filled views.

There are 54 luxury units in this 17-story, 104,000 square foot, mixed-use building. Its designers, Gwathemy & Siegel, known for constructing gorgeous residential projects such as the Astor Place in Manhattan and homes for Steven Spielberg and Jerry Seinfeld, spared no expense with these elegant Park Avenue apartment homes.

The building exterior was designed to complement Park Avenue’s architecture, constructed of limestone and precast concrete panels. Taking full advantage of its corner location with curved, oversized floor-to-ceiling windows, residents have breathtaking east and southern views. Each unit’s major living spaces have these views, with upper floors having unobstructed views to the north and west as well.

The 24-hour attended lobby has sleek, clean lines with stone floors and benches, recessed lighting and earth tones. The interiors of the units carry the same ultra-modern design with high ceilings, hardwood and granite floors and oversized windows in almost every room. Units range in size from one-bedrooms to three, with the 17th-floor penthouse unit utilizing the entire floor and having exclusive access to the roof with private terrace and views of the Empire State Building.

Premier finishings in the gourmet kitchens include Viking, Sub-Zero, Kueperbusch and Miele appliances with sunken Jet Mist granite counter spaces, wine coolers and aluminum cabinets. The kitchens are open to expansive living spaces.

Bathrooms are the epitome of luxury with marbled-lined showers and marble-encased, cast-iron soaking tubs. Vanities are sleekly-designed with stainless steel cabinetry with Rositano carved-stone sinks and Dombracht fixtures. Toto water closets and granite floors complete the luxurious baths with colors in soft-gray hues. Most units have walk-in closets and some contain home automation and home theatre installed by KRAUS.

Five-star amenities and a stellar, vibrant Manhattan location make 240 Park Avenue South the very definition of refined, elegant grandeur and the ultimate Park Avenue living experience.
