1001 Park Ave

A distinguished 14-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1928–1929 and designed by Pleasants Pennington and Albert W. Lewis in a restrained Colonial Revival idiom. The boutique property typically houses large three-bedroom and multi-room apartments, many arranged as classic prewar layouts with lofty ceilings, expansive galleries, formal dining rooms, wood-burning fireplaces, and original millwork. Residences are notable for abundant natural light from multiple exposures, generous closet storage, hardwood floors (including herringbone and wide-plank patterns in renovated units), windowed kitchens with pantry or eat-in areas, and separate service zones that in many homes include staff rooms and service elevators. Common building life centers on white-glove hospitality: a full-time doorman, resident manager/superintendent, porter and on-site staff deliveries; private storage rooms in the basement transfer with apartments. The cooperative permits pets and up to roughly 50% financing with board approval; a flip tax and periodic assessments are part of ownership. Located at Park Avenue and East 84th Street, the building places residents steps from Central Park, Museum Mile, Madison Avenue shopping and convenient subway and bus connections, supporting both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable family living in a historic, service-oriented setting.
