1185 Park Ave

A distinguished 15-story prewar cooperative on Park Avenue built in 1928, the building is a masonry, Gothic-influenced residence by a noted early 20th-century firm. Its façade and triple-arched main entrance lead into multiple private lobbies and a planted European-style courtyard that also functions as a porte-cochere. Interiors reflect classic prewar scale: large galleries and grand public rooms, tall beamed or coffered ceilings, original woodwork and built-in cabinetry, working wood-burning fireplaces, and extensive closet and storage provisions. Typical full-floor and maisonette layouts accommodate multi-bedroom residences, often with formal dining rooms, libraries or staff rooms, eat-in kitchens with pantries and sizable service wings; many homes include private terraces or wraparound outdoor spaces overlooking the courtyard or Park Avenue. Building amenities emphasize white-glove service and family convenience: 24-hour doorman and concierge, full-time staff, a state-of-the-art fitness center, children’s playroom, bicycle room, private basement storage, and a planted roof deck. Common exterior spaces include a landscaped courtyard and roof garden; several units offer private outdoor areas of varying sizes. The cooperative is pet friendly, allows significant financing on select apartments, and supports a lifestyle oriented around privacy, formal entertaining, and proximity to Carnegie Hill’s cultural institutions, schools, and transit.
