Isang pambihirang alok sa isa sa mga pinaka-kilalang pre-war full-service condominiums ng Murray Hill. Ang 71 Park Avenue #12A ay isang maginhawa at puspos ng liwanag na tahanan na may dalawang silid-tulugan at dalawang banyo na bumabalanse sa walang hangganang kaakit-akit at pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay.

Sumusukat ng halos 1,400 square feet, ang mataas na palapag na tirahan na ito ay may tatlong sikat ng araw—kanluran, hilaga, at silangan—na nagbibigay liwanag sa tahanan at nag-aalok ng cinematic na tanawin sa maayos na median ng Park Avenue, ang Empire State Building, at malawak na bukas na kalangitan. Ang oversized square living room, na may sukat na 20’ by 22’, ay isang kapansin-pansing sentro na may tatlong larawan na bintana at isang fireplace na pangkahoy, na nagtatakda ng tono para sa malaking sukat at tahimik na sopistikasyon ng tahanan.

Ang layout ay kasing functional ng pagiging mapagbigay nito, na may hiwalay na dining area mula sa entry foyer, isang bintanang eat-in kitchen, maraming cabinet, at halos 9’ na kisame sa buong lugar. Ang pangunahing suite ay tunay na santuwaryo, na may kanlurang sikat ng araw, mga custom built-in at wall-to-wall closets, at isang malawak na bintanang banyo na may hiwalay na spa shower at soaking tub. Isang washing machine at dryer ay nakatago ng maayos sa loob ng ensuite. Ang ikalawang silid-tulugan at ikalawang buong banyo ay nagpapabuo sa alok.

Habang ang apartment ay naghihintay ng maingat na pag-refresh, ang pagkakataon dito ay kapana-panabik: ang pundasyong arkitektura at proporsyon ay nagbibigay ng perpektong canvas upang lumikha ng isang pinong, bespoke na tahanan na may minimal na interbensyon. Ito ay isang pagkakataon para sa isang mapanlikhang mamimili na muling isipin ang espasyo gamit ang liwanag, maingat na mga update—personalizing ang isang klasikong layout nang hindi isinasakripisyo ang likas nitong katangian.

Itinayo noong 1924 ng mga kilalang arkitekto na sina Walker at Gillette, ang 71 Park Avenue ay isang full-service, pulang-stucco at limestone pre-war condominium na may 24-oras na doorman, live-in superintendent, bike room, at laundry facilities. Perpektong nakapuwesto sa ibaba ng landmark na Helmsley Building sa maayos na manicured na Park Avenue, at ilang minuto mula sa Bryant Park, Morgan Library, at iba't ibang cafes at restaurant, ang pocket na ito ng Murray Hill ay isang tahimik, arkitektural na enclave na may tunay na pakiramdam ng komunidad. Sa Grand Central na ilang saglit lamang ang layo, ito ay perpekto kung ikaw ay gumugugol ng mahahabang katapusan ng linggo malayo sa lungsod sa pamamagitan ng Metro-North o naghahanap ng isang sentrong hub na may tuluy-tuloy na access sa maraming subway line.

Biyaya para sa mga alagang hayop at friendly para sa pied-a-terre, ang Residence 12A ay pantay na akma bilang isang full-time na tahanan o sopistikadong retreat sa lungsod.

A rare offering in one of Murray Hill’s most distinguished pre-war full-service condominiums. 71 Park Avenue #12A is a gracious, light-filled two-bedroom, two-bath home that balances timeless elegance with everyday livability.

Measuring nearly 1,400 square feet, this high-floor residence enjoys three exposures—west, north, and east—filling the home with natural light and offering cinematic views over Park Avenue’s manicured median, the Empire State Building, and sweeping open skies. The oversized square living room, measuring 20’ by 22’, is a striking centerpiece with three picture windows and a wood-burning fireplace, setting the tone for the home's grand scale and quiet sophistication.

The layout is as functional as it is generous, with a separate dining area just off the entry foyer, a windowed eat-in kitchen, plentiful closets, and nearly 9’ ceilings throughout. The primary suite is a true retreat, with western exposure, custom built-ins and wall-to-wall closets, and an expansive windowed bath with separate spa shower and soaking tub. A washer and dryer are discreetly tucked away within the ensuite. A second bedroom and second full bath complete the offering.

While the apartment awaits a thoughtful refresh, the opportunity here is compelling: the underlying architecture and proportions provide the perfect canvas to create a refined, bespoke home with minimal intervention. This is a chance for a discerning buyer to reimagine the space with light, careful updates—personalizing a classic layout without compromising its inherent character.
