This eight-room, 3,250-square-foot home in the classic 535 Park Avenue co-op residence is a fine example of gracious pre-war proportions and glamorous interior design. Shades of sepia, gray, aubergine, and violet, accented by dramatic patterns and burnished gold, form a color palette created by interior designer Danielle Richter. Asking $12.5 million, the sprawling co-op offers both a Park Avenue address and 21st-century luxury.
An open gallery with chevron-patterned floors introduces the home. Key details throughout include plaster moldings crafted on-site, custom metal hardware, integrated lighting and climate systems, triple-pane windows, Lutron lighting and shades, integrated speakers, and a seven-zone heating and air conditioning system. Architectural Digest has noted the home’s “sexy, moody” design, framed by 69 feet of Park Avenue frontage, four exposures, and 10-foot ceilings.
A vast corner living room boasts an antique marble fireplace and bespoke sconces by the designer. The walls wear a pale shade of gray that changes with the light.
In the kitchen, a classic La Cornue induction range complements a hammered German silver De Giulio sink. A Cosmopolitan quartzite island anchors the room, crowned by a Murano glass chandelier. An adjacent formal dining room is wrapped in antique mirrors for dramatic dinners.
Anchored by a French Art Nouveau marble fireplace, the primary suite wears hand-painted wall coverings, with vintage Emil Stejnar lighting above. This decadent suite has two full bathrooms and two walk-in closets. A custom dressing room gets the diva treatment with a black mother-of-pearl dressing table.
A moody media room is wrapped in ebonized oak millwork. There is also a cozy home office with a full bath, a laundry room, and a suitably dramatic powder room.
The pet- and pied-a-terre-friendly white-glove cooperative building was built in 1909. Residents get a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent and porters, a rooftop terrace, and private storage.
