It’s somewhat surprising to find that the elegantly-named Parc Vendome at 340 West 57th Street is a condominium; its old-world charm brings to mind the city’s classic pre-war co-ops. In addition to condo convenience, this 14th-floor one-bedroom home offers 1,200 square feet of living space, modern renovations with a designer’s eye, and a genteel collection of building amenities that range from a doorman to a private dining room. It’s now on the market for $1,775,000.
A classic entry foyer leads to a great room that spans the length of the apartment. This gracious living room is framed by 16-foot beamed ceilings, tall casement windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. A corner stairway leads to a catwalk-like library nook that overlooks the entire living space.
A sophisticated kitchen boasts limestone countertops, designer fixtures, dual wall ovens, and a BlueStar gas cooktop, plus capable appliances by Subzero, Bosch and Miele. Off the kitchen, a dining alcove is just right for intimate dinners, served by a built-in buffet.
The pale, tranquil bedroom is framed by custom closets. A luxurious stone-clad bath is a masterful retreat with a two-person soaking tub, a separate two-person shower, and dual sinks. Hand-cut mosaic tile provides a subtle highlight.
The full-service pre-war condo consists of four impressive buildings along West 57th Street, with Central Park just a block away. Timeless amenities include a 24-hour doorman, a garden courtyard, two rooftop decks, a billiards room, a library, a music room, a private dining room with a catering kitchen, and a bike room.
