A magnificent, ultra-chic, almost-square corner library, also with a fireplace, is welcoming and comfortable. There is a third fireplace in the lovely master bedroom and a second bedroom. With Eastern and Southern exposures, the apartment's large windows allow for great light throughout. The kitchen was recently renovated and is perfect for an enthusiastic cook. There is through-wall air conditioning with individual thermostats in each room. The apartment was completely rewired for electric and sound. 1471625255563 Park Avenue at 62nd and Park Avenue is close to Central Park, to shops such as Bloomingdales, Hermes, Barneys, and Bergdorf and near to some of the best casual and formal restaurants on the Upper East Side ranging from Bibloquet and Fred's to Daniel.
