Professional hockey players get bashed against the board, grinding it out week after week in the NHL.
But when the skates are hung up after practices and games, they look forward to relaxing in quiet comfort.
The Park Avenue pad owned by legendary forward Brendan Shanahan is precisely that type of elegant perch.
Huge by Manhattan standards, the five-bedroom, 4.5-bath condo offers 4,200 square feet of living space. But it’s the location that truly sells the residence. It sits smack dab in the middle of the Upper East Side near all the great museums, fancy boutiques, and Central Park.
Set above the treetops and featuring four exposures, this full-floor apartment comes with a private elevator landing, a 32-foot living room, 10-foot ceilings and fireplaces.
A bank of windows looks out over pretty Park Avenue, whose planted medians change with the seasons. (It’s tulips in spring, Christmas trees in winter.)
The formal dining room has a fireplace, and the spacious kitchen has an island, luxe appliances, and a six-burner industrial stove. All of the bedrooms have their own wing (two have en suite baths), and the primary bedroom boasts a walk-in closet.
The prewar building has just 11 apartments, which means there are very few neighbors and little noise to contend with. The building offers a full-time doorman, an on-site manager, a fitness center and storage for each apartment.
Shanahan purchased the place for $13.4 million in 2007 while he was winding down his playing days with the New York Rangers.
Shanahan scored over 600 goals in his 21-year NHL career and won three Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings. Today, he works as the president of the Toronto Maple Leafswhich has advanced (at last!) to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in 19 years.
