799 Park Ave

A landmark full-service cooperative on Park Avenue, completed in 1961, the 21-story midcentury residence contains 33 large, primarily multi-bedroom units (two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts). The exterior reads as a refined urban block with a set-back base and traditional masonry proportions that sit comfortably amid the Upper East Side’s prewar context. Interiors emphasize gracious entertaining patterns: arrival galleries, formal dining rooms, oversized living rooms with wide windows, and eat-in kitchens or butler’s pantries in many homes. Finishes in showcased units include hardwood herringbone and strip oak floors, custom millwork, marble and stone baths, and high-end appliance packages; several apartments have been comprehensively renovated while others retain more original detail. Shared spaces and resident services reflect a white-glove profile — a 24-hour doorman, elevator operators, live-in resident manager, full maintenance staff and on-site porters. Building amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a landscaped private garden with seating and a waterfall feature, a roof deck and courtyard spaces, central laundry, storage rooms, bike storage and an on-site garage (wait list applies). The cooperative’s rules are homeowner-oriented: pied-à-terre ownership and pets are permitted, up to 50% financing is commonly allowed, and a modest flip tax applies. Located between East 74th and 75th Streets, the building places residents two blocks from Central Park, close to museums, shopping, restaurants and transit options in the Lenox Hill/Upper East Side neighborhood.
