1111 Park Ave

Completed in 1925 and rising 14 stories, this pre-war cooperative on Park Avenue embodies traditional neo-Georgian townhouse scale translated into an urban apartment house. Designed by Schwartz & Gross, the building presents a brick-and-limestone façade and a formal, classically detailed lobby that leads to semi-private elevator landings for many units. Residences are large, mostly multi-room layouts (including four-bedroom configurations and historic staff rooms) with generous ceiling heights, long galleries, original moldings, herringbone or chevron hardwood floors, and numerous closets. Typical apartment interiors feature formal living and dining rooms, wood-burning fireplaces, separate eat-in kitchens with pantry or butler’s pantry, private foyers, dens or libraries that can serve as additional bedrooms, and provisions for laundry. Some homes include small private outdoor spaces or balconies. As a white-glove cooperative the building offers full-time doorman and concierge services, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, central laundry, bicycle storage and private storage bins that often transfer with the apartment. Pet-friendly and situated two blocks from Central Park in Carnegie Hill, it benefits from Museum Mile proximity, Madison Avenue shops and strong transit access via nearby subway and bus lines. Maintenance typically includes building services and the co-op permits partial financing subject to house rules and flip-tax provisions.
