Hollywood History Meets Timeless Elegance on Park
Experience the allure of Hollywood nostalgia in this 3 bedroom 3 bathroom Park Avenue apartment, once the cherished home of screen idol Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Spanning over approximately 2100 square feet, this iconic residence reflects a bygone era of glamor and sophistication. Meticulous attention to detail was taken during its design and renovation, a testament to the collaboration between renowned English designer Jane Churchill and architect Benjamin Huntington.
Stepping into the gracious foyer with stunning herringbone wood floors, you are greeted by 9’ ceilings and south-facing natural light. Enter the beautifully renovated library exuding old-world luxury. Pocket doors lead to the adjacent room which can be easily transformed into a third bedroom with ensuite bathroom. This room features a marble fireplace imported from England, 22 cabinets, Sisal carpeting, and tilt and turn windows.
The grand living room, the very space where Mr. Fairbanks entertained Sir Laurence Olivier, Rex Harrison, Bobby Short and the Duke of Wellington to name a few, is bathed in light from the south-facing windows and can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests.
Providing the ultimate in privacy, the primary bedroom has its own wing complete with ensuite windowed bath and two walk-in closets. Filled with glorious natural light, the room is spacious enough to accommodate a desk and cozy seating area. A generously-proportioned second bedroom is replete with built-in storage, two sizable closets and its own ensuite windowed bathroom. The windowed kitchen is adorned with high-end appliances and great storage.
This special home is equipped with multiple closets including 5 walk-ins! It offers a valuable bonus room, a versatile area that can be customized to suit your needs. Whether you’re seeking a home office, a spacious walk-in closet, or expansion of the primary bathroom, this area offers endless possibilities.
Originally built as a hotel in 1927, The Beekman harkens back to those days by offering unparalleled services in one of New York City’s most coveted locations. Amenities include 24-hour doorman, concierge services, well-equipped gym, resident manager, window-washing upon request, laundry facilities, and on-site management. DAILY HOUSEKEEPING AND UTILITIES ARE INCLUDED IN THE MAINTENANCE! TWO STORAGE CAGES TRANSFER WITH PURCHASE!
Step out of the grand lobby, designed in the Italian Renaissance style, and experience some of the world’s finest restaurants, retailers and, of course, the joys of Central Park. Or stay close to home and head downstairs to the recently opened Cafe Boulud by renowned chef Daniel Boulud.
This tasteful and inviting residence is perfect for full-time living or pied-à-terre ownership.
Embark on a journey through time and experience the joy of living, as Douglas Fairbanks Jr. did on the silver screen, in this fabulous and historically rich home.
