1060 Park Ave

Located on Park Avenue in Carnegie Hill, this 14-story prewar cooperative was completed in 1924 and attributed to J.E.R. (James) Carpenter. The building presents traditional early-20th-century Park Avenue architecture with an elegant, classically detailed lobby and formal hallways. Residences are configured as one- to three-bedroom apartments that retain prewar proportions: high (around 10-foot) beamed ceilings, crown moldings, decorative fireplaces in many units, tall solid wood doors, and hardwood or herringbone floors. Kitchens and baths are commonly renovated with modern appliances, granite or marble counters, and thoughtful storage including built-ins and walk-in closets; some homes include washer/dryer hookups subject to board approval. Common building services are full-time doormen, porters, a live-in superintendent, 24-hour coverage, and white-glove staff; building amenities include private storage, a bike room, laundry facilities, and access to a nearby garage (fee). The co-op is pet-friendly, permits pieds-à-terre, and typically allows up to 50% financing; transaction terms may include flip taxes and occasional sponsor units with no board approval. Located two blocks from Central Park and near the Metropolitan Museum and express mass transit, the building sits amid museums, boutiques, restaurants, and established private and public schools, offering a quintessential Upper East Side lifestyle.
