940 Park Ave

A distinguished prewar cooperative on Park Avenue, completed in 1925 and rising 15 stories, this boutique full‑service building contains a small number of expansive residences (predominantly two-, three- and five-bedroom plans). Designed by George and Edward Blum, the structure displays the scale and ornamentation typical of early 20th‑century Manhattan apartment houses, with high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, large picture windows and herringbone hardwood floors featured in many units. Apartments often open from semi‑private landings, center around formal entry foyers and include gracious living rooms with wood‑burning fireplaces, separate formal dining rooms, and eat‑in kitchens; many homes retain original built‑ins and millwork while several listings describe fully renovated kitchens and bathrooms with high‑end appliances. Common elements emphasize residential service and storage: a full‑time doorman, live‑in superintendent, private storage bins that convey with units, and a communal laundry room; a modest fitness room is also noted. Building policies are traditional and selective: pieds‑à‑terre are generally restricted, dog ownership varies by unit/listing but several listings prohibit dogs, financing is permitted with limits (commonly up to 50%), and there is a transactional flip tax. Located on a leafy Upper East Side block near Central Park, Madison Avenue boutiques, schools and restaurants, the building offers classic Park Avenue living with generous prewar proportions and full‑service convenience.
