Kwa kweli ni nyumba ya ajabu zaidi katika moja ya majengo ya ushirika yaliyoundwa na Rosario Candela kwenye Park Avenue - 778 Park Avenue - hii ni ghorofa nzima, zaidi ya futi za mraba 6,350, ikiwa na ukubwa, mwelekeo, na mtiririko wa kipekee kwa karibu futi 100 za mbele kwenye Park Avenue kupitia madirisha makubwa, mengi ambayo ni ya kipekee kwa kuwa yanapanuka chini hadi sakafuni na kuwa na balustrade za Juliette.

Dahabu ya lifti binafsi inafungua kwenye jumba kubwa, zaidi ya futi 36 kwa urefu. Madini mazuri na kuta zenye mavazi, pamoja na milango ya Mahogany iliyagizwa kwa karne nyingi, yanatoa hisia ya kuvutia ya kwanza ya nyumba hii iliyoanzishwa awali na Renzo Mongiardino. Saluni ya kifahari yenye futi 32 inakamilishwa na fireplace ya kushangaza yenye mojawapo ya mantels nyingi za kimataifa za kukusanya. Milango ya Kifaransa inaonyesha chumba rasmi cha kulia kaskazini, ambacho kinaweza kwa urahisi kukarabati watu 20, kuwa na muunganisho wa mbao wa marquetry ambao unakataa maneno, pia ukiwa na fireplace na maoni ya pembe. Pantry ya butler iliyo karibu na nafasi kubwa inasababisha kwenye jikoni ya mpishi, iliyotengenezwa kwa uzuri na vifaa vya kitaaluma. Kwa kusini kuna maktaba ya kuvutia yenye fireplace ya tatu. Mjini jirani, inafikiwa kupitia jozi nyingine ya milango ya Kifaransa, kuna atelie inayohifadhi vifaa ambavyo zamani vilihifadhi chumba kingine cha kulala - ambacho kinaweza kurekebishwa kwa urahisi - kikitazama Park Avenue.

Mrengo mkubwa wa chumba cha kulala sasa umewekwa ili kuwa na Suite ya Chumba Kikuu na vyumba viwili vya kulala vya ziada, lakini awali huu ulikuwa unahifadhi vyumba sita kwa jumla. Suite ya Kiongozi ni ya heshima na pana: korido in lead to chumba cha kulala chenye pembe ya kusini-magharibi. Bafu ya kifalme yenye paneli za kuni iko upande mmoja, wakati bafu ya pili yenye mkao wa marumaru iko upande mwingine, ikitenganishwa na makabati makubwa na chumba cha kuvaa chenye eneo la kupakua.

Madirisha arobaini na mawili yanajaza nyumba hii na mwanga wa asili siku nzima ikiwa na maoni wazi kutoka kwa mwelekeo yote manne. Sakafu za mbao zenye kung'ara, karibu na dari za futi 11, mifumo ya mwanga iliyo na maelezo, na mapambo yaliyotengenezwa kwa uzuri yanaonekana kila mahali.

Mrengo wa Wafanyakazi, ulioko nje ya ukumbi wa huduma, unajumuisha chumba cha kufulia kilicho na madirisha, vyumba vitatu vya wafanyakazi/ofisi ya nyumbani/wanamichezo, na bafu mbili za ziada.

Iliyojengwa mwaka 1931, 778 Park Avenue ni jengo la huduma kamili la mikono myeupe, lililo kwenye eneo nzuri umbali wa block moja kutoka kwa vivutio vya rejareja vya Madison Avenue na blocks mbili kutoka Central Park na Museum Mile, na lina nyumba 18 tu juu ya ghorofa 18. Jengo hili hivi karibuni limeongeza kituo kikubwa cha mazoezi kilichofanywa kitaaluma chenye mwanga wa asili na chumba cha kujiandaa/kusuka nywele kilichounganishwa. Lina mkurugenzi wa kudumu anayeishi ndani, hifadhi ya baiskeli, na ni rafiki wa wanyama wa nyumbani. Kuna ushuru wa 3% wa Kubadilishana unaolipwa na mnunuzi na tathmini ya $8,665 kwa mwezi mpaka mwishoni mwa mwaka wa 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.
