On New York’s Park Avenue, a Triplex With 3 Terraces Is Up for Grabs at $29.8 Million

New York City’s Upper East Side is home to well-dressed ladies who lunch and some of the world’s best museums. It’s also where you’ll find a few of the finest residences in the Big Apple.

Case in point: a $29.8 million, three-level co-op at a prime Park Avenue address. Situated on the 16^th, 17^th, and 18^th floors of 895 Park Avenue, a 1930s Art Deco building designed by the esteemed firm Sloan & Robertson, the triplex comprises more than 6,000 square feet of interior space and—a rarity in Manhattan—three separate terraces that add another 1,300 square feet of outdoor space. Robert A. Schulman, Frederick Warburg Peters, and Samantha Rose Frith of Coldwell Banker Warburg hold the listing.

Entering via your own private elevator, you’re dropped into a circular marble gallery on the 16th floor. From there, you have access to the library, paneled in mahogany wood and featuring a marble fireplace next to which you can get cozy with a good book. Elsewhere on the first floor, you’ll find a den with an attached terrace and the spacious main kitchen, bathed in Carrara marble.

Head upstairs via the marble staircase with a bronze balustrade (or the elevator). The 17th floor is primed for hosting with a wet bar in the living room and a fireplace in the neighboring dining room. Caterers, meanwhile, can take advantage of the butler’s kitchen just off the dining room.

The uppermost floor, the 18th, is where you’ll find most of the bedrooms. (The property has five bedrooms in total, along with six bathrooms and two powder rooms.) The primary bedroom has two of everything: two sitting rooms, two fitted dressing rooms, and two deluxe bathrooms. Fifteen windows and French doors throughout the sprawling suite give you prime views of nearby Central Park and access to a wraparound terrace. Three bedrooms on this level each come with their own en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, while another bedroom and bath off the butler’s pantry on the 17th floor is designated for staff.

895 Park building is a full-service apartment house with doormen, a gym, and a squash court. Since being built in 1930, it’s been home to a few of New York’s most notable: The composer Leonard Bernstein once lived in the penthouse unit, where he held the party immortalized in New York magazine’s “Radical Chic,” written by Tom Wolfe in 1970. We’re not sure that this three-story co-op can necessarily be called radical. But chic sure seems like an apt descriptor to us.
