1199 Park Ave

1199 Park Avenue is an 18-story full-service cooperative completed in 1961 and located in Carnegie Hill on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The building’s residential composition leans toward one-bedroom and studio layouts, many of which have been reconfigured over time into larger single-bedroom or convertible two-bedroom plans; typical interiors show parquet or hardwood floors, built-ins, substantial closet/storage capacity, and traditional details such as entrance foyers and moldings in select units. Common spaces include a 24-hour doorman lobby with concierge and a live‑in superintendent, laundry facilities on alternating floors, a planted roof deck with herb garden and seating, bicycle storage, private storage rooms in the basement, and an on-site garage with direct building access. Exterior and unit-level outdoor features range from private balconies to smaller private terraces; many apartments face townhouse gardens, Central Park, or city and river vistas depending on exposure. Kitchens and baths vary from original condition to fully renovated with granite or marble counters and stainless appliances; in‑unit washers/dryers are generally not permitted, though there are laundry rooms nearby. Building policies are resident-friendly in several ways—pets are allowed, garage parking and bike storage are available, and the cooperative permits typical buyer financing up to around 70%—while pied-à-terres are restricted or reviewed case-by-case. The location places residents steps from Museum Mile, Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping and dining, the 92nd Street Y, and multiple subway and bus lines.
