1220 Park Ave

1220 Park Avenue is a 17-story, full-service prewar cooperative completed in 1930 and designed by Rosario Candela. The building is distinguished by classic Candela proportions: high ceilings, extensive moldings, six-panel mahogany doors with original brass hardware, herringbone wood floors and generous room dimensions. Residence types are large three- to five-bedroom layouts, including double-height maisonettes and multi-room Empire-style apartments that retain original features alongside modern renovations. Many units open from semi-private or private elevator vestibules into long galleries that organize separate public entertaining wings and private bedroom wings. Kitchens are often expanded into eat-in chef’s layouts with pantries and butler’s rooms; former maid’s rooms have frequently been converted to offices, laundries or additional bedrooms. Common interior amenities emphasize traditional prewar living: formal dining rooms, libraries, generous closet storage, and through-wall or centered air-conditioning systems in renovated units. The building provides full white-glove services with 24-hour door staff, a resident manager and live-in super, plus a state-of-the-art fitness center, bicycle rooms, central laundry and private basement storage. Pet-friendly with board approval; financing typically permitted up to 50% depending on unit. Located on Park Avenue at 95th Street in Carnegie Hill, the coop sits steps from Central Park, cultural institutions, top private schools and neighborhood dining, offering an Upper East Side lifestyle oriented around elegant, spacious prewar living.
