955 Park Ave

955 Park Avenue is a distinguished prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1915 and designed by Robert Lyons in partnership with Bing & Bing. The 13-story building contains a small number of large residences—roughly a dozen units—many of which are full-floor or multi-room apartments that preserve classic prewar proportions and details. Architecturally it reads as an early 20th-century Park Avenue white‑glove co-op with high ceilings, formal galleries, oversized windows and traditional millwork in many homes. Interiors typically feature formal entertaining rooms—living rooms, formal dining rooms, libraries or great rooms—alongside eat-in chef’s kitchens, separate pantries or butler’s pantries, staff/service rooms that have often been converted to offices, and in-unit laundry. Finish levels vary by residence; some homes retain original parquet and crown moldings while others have been comprehensively renovated with marble, custom millwork, and top-tier appliances. Ceiling heights range around 9 to 10 feet in many units, supporting expansive sightlines and generous proportions. Building amenities reflect a full-service coop: 24-hour doorman/white-glove staff, live-in superintendent, bicycle room, private storage rooms in the cellar, and limited garage-related services through building management. The co-op permits pets, allows up to 50% financing, and levies standard transfer/flip tax and occasional assessments for capital projects. Its address places it steps from Central Park, museums, subway access and Park Avenue retail and dining, delivering a formal, amenity-focused Upper East Side lifestyle.
