1220 Park Ave

1220 Park Avenue is a 17-story full-service cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1930 and designed by prewar master Rosario Candela. The building contains just 24 large units, predominantly multi-bedroom Classic C- and Seven-style layouts and duplex estates ranging from three- to five-bedroom configurations. Architecturally the property exhibits hallmark prewar detailing: high ceilings, mahogany paneled doors with original brass hardware, herringbone and wide-plank hardwood floors, marble-floored private elevator landings and formal galleries. Interiors typically feature formal dining rooms, expansive living rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, libraries or dens, eat-in chef’s kitchens with butler’s pantries, multiple staff rooms, and generous closet and pantry storage. Many residences have private outdoor spaces such as terraces, Juliet balconies, or small Park Avenue-facing loggias; several units are duplexes with grand staircases and semi-private elevator vestibules. The cooperative operates as a white-glove building with 24-hour door staff, a resident manager (live-in superintendent), private storage, bicycle storage, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Services include central laundry facilities and a full-time building staff; pets are permitted with board approval. Financing is typically limited to around 50% and a 3% flip tax applies; occasional capital assessments related to building maintenance (Local Law 11, conversions) have been disclosed. Situated in Carnegie Hill, the property benefits from immediate proximity to Central Park, upscale schools, cultural institutions, Mount Sinai Hospital, subway access, and the tree-lined Park Avenue mall.
