1185 Park Ave

A distinguished prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this 15-story, 1928-built residence contains a limited collection of large, primarily three-bedroom apartments arranged around a planted interior courtyard. The exterior presents a limestone-and-brick Gothic-inspired façade with grand arched entryways and iron gates leading to one of the city's rare porte-cochères and a circular private drive. Interiors preserve classic prewar proportions—high beamed ceilings, expansive galleries, herringbone hardwood floors, decorative moldings and working fireplaces—while many homes have been updated with modern kitchens, multi-zone air conditioning and in-unit laundry. Units typically feature formal dining rooms, windowed eat-in kitchens, den or staff rooms that can convert to extra bedrooms, abundant built-in storage and generous closets. Shared amenities emphasize full-service living: 24-hour doormen, concierge, resident manager, on-site fitness center, children’s playroom, bicycle storage and private basement storage. The landscaped European-style courtyard and planted roof deck provide significant outdoor space for residents. The building is pet-friendly, allows partial financing, charges a modest flip tax and benefits from a neighborhood of museums, Central Park and high-end retail within easy walking distance.
