895 Park Ave

Built in 1930 and standing 19 stories high, this white‑glove cooperative on Park Avenue exemplifies prewar scale and craftsmanship across a small roster of large residences. The building contains generously proportioned multi‑bedroom units — including 1‑, 5‑ and 6‑bedroom arrangements and expansive duplexes and penthouses — many entered from private elevator landings. Interiors retain classic details: high ceilings, wide‑plank floors, wood‑burning fireplaces, paneled libraries, formal dining rooms, butler’s pantries, sizable staff quarters and abundant closet/storage space. Common areas and building services align with traditional luxury: full‑time doormen, an elevator attendant, resident manager/superintendent, private storage that transfers with sales, and white‑glove service policies. Shared amenities emphasize fitness and recreation rather than fleeting trends, with an on‑site gym, squash court (with basketball hoop) and sauna; there are roof terraces and private outdoor spaces attached to certain apartments. The property accommodates pets and allows up to 50% financing under cooperative rules; transaction fees (flip tax) apply. Located at the corner of East 79th Street, the address provides direct access to Upper East Side cultural institutions, fine dining, shops, multiple subway and bus lines, and major medical centers nearby, supporting both grand entertaining and comfortable family living in a historic, architecturally significant prewar setting.
