Small but mighty, this one-bedroom top-floor condo at 71 Park Avenue, asking $1,250,000, has all the charm you’d expect in a Park Avenue address that hasn’t changed hands in over 25 years. Ambitious architectural features like glass atrium skylights give it character, and a private terrace that’s bigger than the 700-square-foot apartment itself is a bountiful surprise.

Past a semi-private elevator entry accented by hand-panted walls, the elegant living room is highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace. Above is a sky-painted ceiling that curves gently at the corners.



The light-filled galley kitchen is topped by a glass-paneled atrium. The home’s standout feature, however, is 1,000 square feet of private terrace for outdoor living.



Sleeping quarters are suitably elegant, with a custom built-in radatior cover that doubles as a window seat. City views put Manhattan at your feet every day. The bath is a spa experience with a square soaking tub and a glass atrium overhead.
Built in 1924, the pre-war condominium building offers a doorman, central laundry and storage space.
