895 Park Ave

A distinguished 19-story, 1930-built cooperative on Park Avenue, this prewar building exemplifies Upper East Side elegance with a limited collection of large residences (approximately 14–38 units reported across sources). Designed by Sloan & Robertson, its masonry façade and classical massing recall Art Deco and late Beaux-Arts influences common to Park Avenue towers of the era. Interiors retain substantial original details: high ceilings (often around ten feet), wide-plank oak floors, carved moldings, and working wood-burning fireplaces. Unit types range from expansive multi-room duplexes and full-floor apartments to sizable high‑floor residences with private elevator landings, formal galleries, libraries, multiple staff rooms, and generous pantry/butler’s facilities. Many homes offer private outdoor terraces or multiple balconies and long sightlines over Park Avenue and Central Park. Common areas and services reflect white-glove coop tradition: full-time doormen and porters, an elevator attendant, live-in management, and ancillary staff. Resident amenities include a health/fitness room and a squash court with a basketball hoop; storage units transfer with sales. The building permits partial financing in line with coop norms and is pet-friendly. Ground-floor commercial or professionally configured suites with private street entrances coexist alongside residences, reflecting flexible use in select units. Located at East 79th Street and Park Avenue, the property sits two blocks from Central Park and close to major medical centers, museums, upscale shopping, and subway and bus lines. Its combination of grand prewar proportions, substantial private outdoor space on select homes, and full-service staffing positions it as a classic upper-crust Upper East Side cooperative.
