Situated on the 18th floor of the iconic Emery Roth-designed Parc Vendome at 340 West 57th Street, this three-bedroom residence has been featured in Architectural Digest, and we can see why. Asking $4,350,000, the 2,600-square-foot Manhattan apartment has understated pre-war details, graciously proportioned rooms, and closets galore. Owned for 25 years by philanthropist, educator, and humanitarian Vartan Gregorian, the home’s layout puts everything right where you’d want it, with space to spare.
Enter the apartment via an elegant foyer, lined with bookshelves with nooks between for a table or two. The airy, light-filled living room features a wood-burning fireplace and plenty of windows.
The kitchen possesses a perfect flow into a den/casual dining space. Open space between the two means the room could easily be used as a sprawling eat-in kitchen. The kitchen itself is well-outfitted with all the cabinets and counter space you’d ever need. Just past the kitchen is a dramatic and sophisticated formal dining room; a wall of windows puts Manhattan’s skyline at your feet.
The home’s three bedrooms all have their own extra charms (and they all have en-suite baths and south-facing windows for extra sunlight). In addition to a massive bathroom, the primary bedroom has an entire wall of closets and one extra to spare. There’s also a walk-in closet the size of many Manhattan bedrooms. In addition, there’s a linen closet just outside.
The second bedroom has a huge dressing room of its own. The third–traditionally known as a “maid’s room” near the kitchen–is where you’ll find the home’s washer/dryer. This smaller chamber would make a perfect home office.
Built in 1931, the Parc Vendome has plenty of distinctions beyond its Emery Roth pedigree, condo convenience, and iconic west Midtown location. Leading the amenities list is the award-winning formal courtyard garden at the center of the four-building complex. Additional perks include a full-time doorman, a billiards room, a music room, a library, a private dining room, and a card room.
