1050 Park Ave

A distinguished prewar cooperative on Park Avenue, completed in 1923 and rising 14 stories with just 17 residences. Designed by J.E.R. Carpenter, the limestone-clad building presents classic Georgian/Beaux-Arts proportions and retains extensive original millwork: high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, herringbone hardwood floors and grand entry galleries. Residences are large, multi-room apartments (classic 6–8 and multi-bedroom layouts) with semi-private elevator landings, formal foyers, separate dining rooms, eat-in kitchens and functional staff/service rooms. Many homes feature wood-burning fireplaces, windowed baths, abundant built-in cabinetry and sizable walk-in closets; several units have in-unit washer/dryer and through-wall or central air. Common areas include a staffed full-service lobby with 24-hour doormen and elevator attendants, a live-in resident manager, attended elevators, a fitness room, bicycle storage, private storage bins and a planted roof deck. The building allows pets and pied-à-terres, requires 50% financing and assesses a 2% flip tax. Situated two blocks from Central Park and adjacent to Museum Mile and Madison Avenue shopping, the property sits within Carnegie Hill’s cultural and school corridors, offering immediate access to transit, museums, restaurants and tree-lined residential streets.
