565 Park Ave

Built in 1912 by Robert T. Lyons for developers Bing & Bing, this 13-story limestone-and-brick cooperative on Park Avenue is a boutique, pre-war residence with an intimate scale of roughly 14–29 apartments and typically two units per floor. The building preserves classic Beaux-Arts detailing: high ceilings (around 9'–10'), crown moldings, built-in millwork, solid wood pocket doors, and oversized windows that frame Park Avenue and landmarked townhouses. Access is commonly via semi-private elevator landings that open onto formal entrance galleries and long, symmetrical room layouts—Classic Six and Classic Seven plans are frequently reconfigured into 2–3 bedroom residences with maid’s rooms or libraries. Interiors across the building combine restored pre-war architectural features with modern systems installed during thoughtful gut-renovations: updated electrical, through-wall or central HVAC, vented cooktops, in-unit washer/dryers, custom kitchens with premium appliances, marble baths, and bespoke cabinetry. Services reflect full-service, white-glove living: 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager/superintendent, private storage and bicycle rooms, and on-site staff handling day-to-day needs. The co-op board permits pets and pieds-à-terre subject to approval and typically allows 25%–50% financing depending on unit and board decision. Located between East 62nd and 63rd Streets, the building places residents steps from Central Park, museums, Madison Avenue boutiques, restaurants, and multiple subway lines, offering a refined Upper East Side lifestyle rooted in classic pre-war elegance and strong service.
