791 Park Ave

Built in 1925 by architects George and Edward Blum, this 14-story white-glove cooperative on Park Avenue between 73rd and 74th Streets exemplifies Upper East Side prewar grandeur. The building contains a limited collection of large residences, many organized as five-bedroom apartments or expansive simplex and full-floor homes accessed via private elevator landings. Typical interiors emphasize formal circulation: long galleries, oversized living and dining rooms, wood-burning fireplaces, paneled libraries, multiple servant/staff rooms, windowed eat-in kitchens with pantries, and abundant built-in storage and walk-in closets. Finishes found across representative units include hardwood floors, detailed millwork, new thermopane/custom picture windows in renovated units, and high-end chef appliances in updated kitchens. Common areas and services follow a full-service standard: 24-hour doorman, live-in resident superintendent, state-of-the-art fitness center, central laundry facilities, assigned private storage and bicycle storage. The building allows pets, permits up to 50% financing, and charges a 2% flip tax. Located a short walk from Central Park, museums, boutiques, and subway/crosstown transit, the residence blends a formal prewar layout with modernized systems and luxury renovations.
