Dining room

SEE THIS HOUSE: WHAT JUST UNDER $10 MILLION GETS YOU ON PARK AVENUE!

December 5, 2011

Foyer with spiraling staircase, wood floors and a view into the dining room and kitchen

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…?

Living room in an apartment with grey herringbone wood floors, fireplace with white and grey marble mantel, floor length drapes, dueling sofas with two armchairs and four white armchairs surrounding a small round table with orchids
Love the charcoal grey herringbone wood floors in the living room…so rich and luxurious. (above)

Dining room in an apartment with grey herringbone wood floor, a square table surrounded by white chairs, built in grey wood bookcase and two crystal flower pendant lights

kitchen in an apartment with Saltillo tiled floors, traditional white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances and glass front refrigerator.
The kitchen is an eclectic mix with Saltillo tiled floors, traditional white cabinetry, a subway tile backsplash and glass front show stopping refrigerator. (above)

Den in an apartment with grey sectional sofa, round ottoman coffee table, windows with floor length curtains, grey armchairs,purple rothko-esque prints on the wall, and grey herringbone wood floor

Bedroom with crystal pendant light, grey carpet, two wicker nightstands, and a bench at the foot of the bed holding stacks of books
Bedroom with striped upholstered head and footboard, two wooden night stands, pale pink walls, carpeted floor and floor length, floral print curtains

Floor plan for a home on Park Avenue in New York City

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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!
