Okay…I probably do not need to say anything about this New York City apartment except I would take it in a minute if someone offered it to me. If they said, you can’t make any structural changes…I would say fine. I am in.
Approximately 4000 square feet. A duplex on Park Avenue and 75th. 4 bedrooms, 5 baths. Mine mine mine. I know it is cool these days to live downtown in Soho or Tribeca. I’m fine with being unhip with this space.
I like the high ceilings, two stories, the dark charcoal grey wood floors, the panoply of windows. Perfect. I’m ready to move back to New York City if I could live in these digs. All I would need is a cute sweet husband, 2.2 kids and a little help and then the picture of my fantasy life in New York would be complete… I’d be leading a nicely charmed life I think. Hmmm…a little far off from that now as I live in a tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills, no Park Avenue in site, no cute sweet husband and where are the 2.2 kids and of course most importantly all of the help?…hmmm…a conundrum I think.
Oh did I mention that this apartment is being offered for $9.95 million by Sotheby’s International Realty? Just a little $9.95 million…I forgot, I would need that amount to actually get this fantasy started…hmmm…where to find $9.95 million…?

Okay if I had to change up a thing or two…I would definitely change out the light fixture in the dining room and the furniture there, I would get rid of all of that carpeting in the bedrooms and exchange for some wonderful rugs and in the kitchen, I would change the kitchen table to something stainless and sleek. Otherwise I could work around or with the rest.
What do you think of this $10 million gem in New York City? Does this make for a nice city dream for you? Or is living in New York no matter how posh not quite your cup of tea? What do you think? What might you do to change up the space to make it your own?
Happy Monday!

love that shot with the purple art!
I love it as well, but for ten million, I’d want central air!!
i loved the living room and the dark floors STUNNING, but hated the kitchen floors they have to go!
By the look of the interior I’d say young people live there. Certainly, not your mother’s place. And, darling, who wouldn’t want a view of Central Park? $10,000,000. + maintenance fees. I live in Houston where only a River Oaks mansion is priced like this. Seriously.
Love this! BUT BUT BUT – air conditioners just stuck into open windows????? Surely not….in a $10 million dollar home? Cheap and tacky.
Coco I love the works of art and the Herringbone aged oak floors!! I would take it!

The herringbone floors are the floors of my dreams! It is definitely a space I could work with!!
You know, I grew up in New Jersey and occasionally visited people who lived in Manhattan. They did not live like THIS in Manhattan, though! I’ve been watching that Selling New York reality real estate show lately, and I’m amazed that properties like this even exist in NYC. 4000 SF? Rooftop gardens? Balconies? Breathtaking views?
I guess it’s like when I’m visiting Paris, walking through the historic districts along the Seine, fantasizing about running away to live the Chic Life in Paris. I’m sure the real estate I’m daydreaming about is WAY out of my price range, and that if I saw a Paris apartment in my price range I’d probably run back to North Carolina with my tail between my legs!!
A Beautiful space! I think the dining light fixtures are quite charming. They remind me of that flapper style from the 40s. Fun!
Absolutely stunning. I have to agree with Kate and her air conditioner comment. Not for 10 million!
Wow what a dream to have. I would change the kitchen table as well and maybe the chairs as well. I would be happy to move in any time. x
You had me at the double glass fridges..
Do LOVE the kitchen & the room with the purple paintings, but really it’s not 4 bedrooms, its 3 at best with 2 cupboards for staff?? Perhaps if you didn’t want live in help, you could convert that space to a downstairs bedroom.. Perhaps I’m just not in tune with the lifestyle…
This is the home of Lisa Jackson, a New York designer and co owner of Lucca & Co. This apartment was featured in New York Social Diary a while back…..

She also had her Southampton home (which was fantastic) in House Beautiful years ago.
Thanks for posting this! It screams money, doesn’t it?
What an amazing house!
I would change a few things – some of the hanging lights, the floor in the kitchen and the kitchen furniture – but just minor little things.
I adore the dark chevron flooring…WOW! And the sweeping staircase…BRILLIANT!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Dear Cocozy,
What I love most is your wish list! The place doesn’t do much for me, love the space that’s true, the hights and the staircase but it is a little cold and not richly enough decorated.
If I may, I would look for the cute husband first…he might tell you to look in his account for the $9.9 mil lol!
All the best, love your blog

Mind blowing square footage for NYC!
Don’t get me wrong i love new york but for 10mill i couldnt justify living there. I would need a beach view a pool and fully stocked bar.
love the neutral palette. compliments brilliantly with the flooring and artwork!!
I really liked living room and kitchen are very elegant and simple, but bedrooms looks terrible! I would not buy this house for 10 million
I am a tall person I would never put those books at the end of my bed…
It looks cold to me. I would take the floor plan but would warm up the place with a traditional/transitional look. Bunny
Williams would do a wonderful design for this space.
All that black and white…..fine for sunny CA not for NYC, my opinion.
