1230 Park Ave

A distinguished prewar co-operative on Park Avenue, the 16-story building was completed in 1930 and contains fewer than 30 units, giving it an intimate, residential scale. Architecturally it reflects classic Upper East Side prewar details: high ceilings, plaster moldings, beamed ceilings, decorative fireplaces and hardwood floors often in herringbone or basket-weave patterns. Residences are primarily one-bedroom and multi-room classic layouts including formal foyers, separate dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, pantries and walk-in closets; many apartments occupy semi-private elevator landings and offer multiple exposures with long Park Avenue or open northern views. Common areas are maintained in a white-glove style with a staffed 24-hour doorman, concierge service and a live-in superintendent. Building amenities include an on-site fitness center, bicycle room, cold storage and private storage (rental/wait list), a central laundry facility and recently refreshed lobby and building systems in many units. Pet and pied-à-terre policies are flexible; management permits pets in most listings and allows pied-à-terres in many cases, with financing limits typically around 70%. Located in Carnegie Hill, two blocks from Central Park and close to subway lines, cultural institutions and upscale grocery and dining options, the building offers a quiet, service-oriented Park Avenue lifestyle favored by buyers seeking classic prewar character with modernized kitchens, renovated baths and conveniences such as in-unit washer/dryers in select apartments.
