254 Park Ave S

A landmark prewar condominium on Park Avenue South, originally constructed in 1913 in a Beaux-Arts French limestone idiom and converted to residences in the late 2000s. The building rises roughly 12–13 stories and contains about fifty units composed of studios, one- and two-bedroom loft-style layouts. Interiors typically retain prewar hallmarks — very high ceilings (often 11–14 feet), oversized picture windows, exposed ceiling beams in some units, and wide-plank oak floors — combined with modernized kitchens and baths featuring stone counters and premium appliances. Unit plans range from compact studio lofts with sleeping lofts and clever storage to expansive two-bedroom residences with multiple en-suite baths, walk-in closets, and distinct dining/entertaining wings. Shared spaces are finished to a contemporary standard and include a residents’ lounge (large social room with bar, billiards and a poker room), a private gym, and a landscaped building courtyard/garden with select units enjoying private outdoor space or Juliet balconies. The building operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman/concierge, on-site resident manager, package handling, and a set of resident-focused services; pied-à-terres and pets are permitted. Located at the crossroads of Flatiron, Gramercy and Union Square, the property offers immediate access to major transit lines and neighborhood amenities — restaurants, markets and parks — fostering an urban lifestyle that blends historic character with modern conveniences.
