475 Park Ave

A 15-story, pre‑war cooperative erected in 1908 and reconfigured in the mid‑20th century, this Park Avenue residence presents traditional Upper East/Midtown elegance across 35 units. The façade reads as classic white‑brick with oversized picture windows that flood apartments with light and recall the building’s earlier duplex origins. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, original hardwood and parquet floors, decorative moldings, formal entry foyers, generous built‑in casework, separate dining rooms, walk‑in closets and den/maid’s rooms adaptable as offices. Individual units range from one‑ to four‑bedroom layouts, including large six‑room proportions and convertible plans, many with updated kitchens, renovated baths and through‑the‑wall air conditioning. The building operates as a full‑service, white‑glove co‑op: 24‑hour doorman, attended elevators, live‑in superintendent, staffed porters, central laundry and private storage rooms in the basement. Policies historically allow pied‑a‑terres with board approval and vary on pets and financing limits; there is a transfer/flip tax and occasional restrictions on financing. Located at Park Avenue near 57th–58th Streets, the property sits steps from Fifth and Madison Avenue shopping, major cultural institutions and Central Park, with convenient subway and commuter rail access.
