Tinuturing na pinaka-nakakamanghang tahanan sa isa sa mga pinaka-nanais na Cooperative na gusali na dinisenyo ni Rosario Candela - 778 Park Avenue - ang buong palapag na simplex na higit sa 6,350sf ay nagtatampok ng pambihirang sukat, proporsyon, at daloy na may halos 100 talampakang harapan sa Park Avenue sa pamamagitan ng malalaking bintana, marami sa mga ito ay natatangi sapagkat umaabot ang mga ito sa sahig na may mga balkonahe na estilo Juliette.

Isang pribadong vestibule ng elevator ang bumubukas sa grand gallery, mahigit 36 talampakan ang haba. Ang tanyag na mga pader na naka-buhos ng marmol at tela na may masalimuot na mga pasamento nga detalye, at mga daan-daang taong gulang na inangkat na mga Pinto ng Mahogany, ay nagbibigay ng nakakaakit na unang impresyon sa tahanang ito na orihinal na dinisenyo ni Renzo Mongiardino. Ang elegante na 32-talampakang salon/sala ay nakabatay sa isang kamangha-manghang fireplace na may isa sa maraming collector-grade na inangkat na mantels. Ang mga French Doors ay nagpapakita ng pormal na dining room sa hilaga, na madaling makapag-akomodate ng 20 tao, isang simponya ng marquetry wood paneling na mahirap ilarawan, pati na rin may fireplace at mga kanto na nakaharap sa labas. Ang katabing pantry ng butler na may sapat na imbakan ay nagdadala sa kusina ng chef, maganda ang pagkaka-ukit na may mga propesyonal na makinarya. Sa timog ay isang kaakit-akit na silid aklatan na may pangatlong fireplace. Sa katabi nito, na maa-access sa pamamagitan ng isa pang pares ng French doors, ay isang atelier na naglalaman ng mga artifact na nagsilbi bilang karagdagang silid-tulugan - madaling ibalik - na nakaharap sa Park Avenue.

Ang napakalaking wing ng silid-tulugan ay kasalukuyang naka-setup upang tahanan ang Primary Bedroom Suite at dalawang karagdagang silid-tulugan, ngunit ito ay orihinal na nag-accommodate ng anim na silid-tulugan sa kabuuan. Ang Primary Suite ay parehong maganda at maluwang: isang entry foyer ang nagdadala sa silid-tulugan sa timog-kanlurang sulok. Isang maharlikang banyo na may kahoy na paneling ay nasa isang dulo, habang ang pangalawang banyo na gawa sa marmol ay nasa kabilang dulo, nahahati ng malalawak na aparador at isang dressing room na may lugar para sa make-up.

Apatnapu't dalawang bintana ang punung-puno ng natural na liwanag ang tahanang ito sa buong araw na may bukas na tanawin mula sa lahat ng apat na direksyon. Nagliliwanag na hardwood parquet na sahig, halos 11 talampakang kisame, detalyadong sistema ng ilaw, at maganda ang pagkakagawa ng mga custom na moldings ay matatagpuan sa buong tahanan.

Ang Staff Wing, na matatagpuan sa tabi ng service hall, ay may kasamang laundry room na may bintana, tatlong silid para sa staff/home office/jimnastika, at dalawang karagdagang banyo.

Itinayo noong 1931, ang 778 Park Avenue ay isang full-service white-glove building, perpektong nakapuwesto isang bloke mula sa retail delights ng Madison Avenue at dalawang bloke mula sa Central Park at Museum Mile, at binubuo ng 18 tahanan sa 18 palapag. Kamakailan lamang ay nagdagdag ang gusali ng isang malaking fitness center na may propesyonal na kagamitan na may natural na liwanag at isang katabing silid para sa make-up/buhok. Ito ay may full-time live-in superintendent, imbakan ng bisikleta, at pet-friendly. Mayroong 3% Flip Tax na binabayaran ng mamimili at isang assessment na $8,665/buwan hanggang sa katapusan ng 2026.

Arguably the most extraordinary home in one of Park Avenue's most desirable Rosario Candela-designed Cooperative buildings - 778 Park Avenue - this full-floor, over 6,350sf simplex boasts exceptional scale, proportions, and flow with nearly 100 feet of frontage on Park Avenue through oversized windows, many of which are unique in that they extend low to the floor with Juliette-style balconies.

A private elevator vestibule opens into the grand gallery, over 36 feet in length. Superb marble and fabric-clad walls with intricate passementerie detailing, and centuries-old imported Mahogany doors, make for a beguiling first impression of this home originally designed by Renzo Mongiardino. The elegant 32-foot salon/living room is anchored by a spectacular fireplace with one of several collector-grade imported mantels. French Doors reveal the formal dining room to the north, which could easily accommodate 20 people, a symphony of marquetry wood paneling that defies words, also with a fireplace and corner exposures. The adjacent butler’s pantry with ample storage leads to the chef’s kitchen, beautifully milled with professional-grade appliances. To the south is a charming library with a third fireplace. Next door, accessed via another pair of French doors, is an atelier housing artifacts that once housed an additional bedroom - easily restored - overlooking Park Avenue.

The enormous bedroom wing is currently set up to house the Primary Bedroom Suite and two additional bedrooms, but this originally accommodated six bedrooms in total. The Primary Suite is both gracious and spacious: an entry foyer leads to the southwest corner bedroom. A regal wood-panelled bathroom is at one end, while a second marble bathroom is positioned at the other end, separated by vast closets and a dressing room with a make-up area.

Forty-two windows fill this home with natural light all day with open views from all four exposures. Gleaming hardwood parquet floors, almost 11-foot ceilings, detailed lighting systems, and beautifully crafted custom moldings feature throughout.

The Staff Wing, located off the service hall, includes a windowed laundry room, three staff rooms/home office/gym, and two additional bathrooms.

Built in 1931, 778 Park Avenue is a full-service white-glove building, perfectly positioned just one block from the retail delights of Madison Avenue and two blocks to Central Park and Museum Mile, and consists of just 18 homes over 18 floors. The building recently added a large, professionally equipped fitness center with natural daylight and an adjoining make-up/hair room. It has a full-time live-in superintendent, bicycle storage, and is pet-friendly. There is a 3% Flip Tax paid by the purchaser and an assessment of $7,975/month till the end of 2026.
