Among the many coveted residences of the Upper East Side, 535 Park Avenue<\/a> was among the first Park Avenue cooperatives built by the original shareholders. Asking $7.950 million, the building\u2019s highest home was designed to be the residence and studio of society portraitist Lydia Field Emmet. Enhanced by a spare-no-expense renovation, the two-bedroom home\u2019s pre-war architecture and expansive terrace overlooking Park Avenue remain peerless in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

Beneath ceilings of more than ten feet high, the home is sunlit from open exposures in every room. Pre-war details include pristine hardwood floors, crown molding, Venetian plaster walls, and custom built-ins. Modern comforts include multi-zone HVAC, Lutron lighting, motorized shades and window treatments, and a full security system. <\/p>\n
