New York City
895 Park Avenue 5C, Upper East Side
What’s Here: There’s a marvel to behold in every corner of this Upper East Side stunner. The stately living room feels like the paragon of comfort and sophistication, ideal any time of day for a seat beside the wood-burning fireplace. Across the hall lies the library, with its original paneling restored and bedecked in 18-carat gold detailing. At the other end, the luxe primary suite possesses its own fireplace, along with a massive dressing room and lavish ensuite bath. Dozens of windows bask it all with light from all exposures.
What We Love: The kitchen calls to chefs of all levels. Fully upgraded appliances—including multiple ovens—along with ample counter space ensure that everything from grand fêtes to casual Sunday suppers are a cinch to make.

Pass through the sunny entry gallery into an open living and dining room, where floor-to-ceiling windows reveal south-facing views over Greenwich Village to One World Trade. Things go next level—literally and figuratively—on the upper floor’s wraparound terrace, which also gazes south, boasts plentiful space for outdoor dining or entertaining, and is directly accessible through casement doors in the main bedroom. Meanwhile, north-facing windows in the primary bath, dressing room, and two other bedrooms peer towards the Empire State Building.
