1120 Park Ave

A 21-story Neo-Georgian prewar cooperative on Park Avenue, completed in 1929 and designed by George Pelham, presented in a wedding-cake massing that emphasizes the central section and upper floors. The building contains roughly 70–75 residences, primarily large three-bedroom and multi-room apartments with high beamed ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, generous moldings and classic prewar proportions. Many units are approached from semi-private elevator landings, feature formal entrance galleries, oversized living and dining rooms, wood-burning fireplaces, windowed eat-in kitchens and staff rooms that historically served as service quarters. Select homes include terraces or private outdoor space and multiple exposures with Park Avenue, Central Park, and river views. Common areas reflect full-service white-glove standards: a 24-hour doorman, concierge, resident manager, package room and building staff. Resident amenities include a fitness center, bike room, central laundry facilities and private storage bins. The co-op permits pets, allows up to 50% financing in many cases, and enforces white-glove rules such as pied-a-terre restrictions in some units. Located in Carnegie Hill two blocks from Central Park and the Reservoir, the building sits within Museum Mile and close to private schools, Madison Avenue shopping and convenient subway access.
