Designed in a timeless, charming, and modest fashion, Apartment 4B at 969 Park Avenue is a generously proportioned, sun flooded, corner apartment with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Located in an historic pre-war building, this home is the embodiment of classic Park Avenue life.

Refined elegance is noticeable immediately upon entering through the dedicated foyer of Apartment 4B. 10'2" beamed ceilings draw your eye upward and through the apartment, to the coveted ample corner living room affording western views over quiet Park Avenue and southern sunny views over 82nd Street. Discreet custom built-ins abound, greatly enhancing storage while remaining inconspicuous. Pressure plated doors are hidden in the living room threshold's columns, the custom media center has sliding cabinet doors that tuck away during use so as not to disturb your line of sight, and custom bookcases with additional cabinetry on the top and bottom flank either side of the media center while outlets integrated every few feet into the baseboard remain plentiful. The stately marble ensconced wood burning fireplace, unique to only a select few lines in the building, continues the graceful tone of 4B's pre-war aesthetic.

Ideally positioned adjacent to the living room and just off the foyer resides the double windowed eat-in-kitchen. Created from the former small kitchen and neighboring maid's room, it now serves as a light and airy base for every day home life or entertaining. 4B's hallmark of custom built-ins and extensive storage continues with a custom sideboard as you enter the kitchen. Glass paneled doors enclose the top of this substantial piece, ideal for showcasing special collections, and match the remaining upper cabinetry here. Additional features of this homey kitchen include an upholstered built-in banquette with slide out hidden storage, a kitchen island with additional storage both above and below, ceramic tile counters and backsplash as well as a full range of Bosch, Thermador, and Subzero appliances, including a full size wine fridge and accompanying BOJ wall mounted corkscrew.

The split bedroom layout of 4B ensures quiet privacy for both residents and guests. Either bedroom is substantial enough with more than enough storage to serve as the primary in Apartment 4B. The current primary bedroom has beautiful natural light thanks to its southern position overlooking 82nd Street and has been thoughtfully renovated to include a plethora of custom storage: two side by side closets with French doors enhanced with custom organization and a deep walk in closet neighboring the primary ensuite bathroom. The thoughtful, concealed, pressure plated doors found in the living room are replicated in the primary ensuite bathroom, discreetly hiding the medicine cabinets while continuing to enhance 4B's pre-war aesthetic through small touches of expert millwork. Warm wood cabinetry in the primary ensuite mirrors the hardwood floors found throughout the apartment while offering refreshing contrast. Marble counters, floors, and a large marble surround for the deep soaking tub with glass enclosure as well as Kallista of England porcelain and a continuation of 4B's high ceilings all serve as additional detailed touches. The secondary bedroom, with views facing west over Park Avenue, features the same elegant proportions of the primary and has direct access to the second full bathroom, all of which can be closed off from the rest of the apartment to create another suite. The secondary bedroom's storage options include a walk in closet and another deep closet cleverly concealed by a bookcase that has been whimsically transformed to serve as the closet door.

Additional features found throughout this highly sought after B-line corner home include hardwood floors, through-wall A/C units concealed by expert millwork and controlled with electric wall switches, a Bose sound system wired throughout the apartment, and a stacking in-unit Miel
