An iconic Park Avenue co-op – both inside and out. Originally designed in 1912 by the legendary J.E.R. Carpenter, this 5 bedroom, full-floor home with more than 4,000 square feet represents the pinnacle of Manhattan apartment living with picturesque views of both Park Avenue and the historic Park Avenue Armory, and the wall space to fulfill an art collector’s dream. Having undergone a complete renovation by famed architects Gwathmey, Siegel & Associates, the interiors of this grand apartment have been reimagined for a decidedly modern lifestyle that seamlessly blends both large-scale entertaining and easy everyday living.
Step off the apartment’s private elevator landing into a formal gallery that serves as the heart of the apartment, leading to both the sprawling public spaces and intimate bedroom wing.
The 32-foot living room, featuring south and west exposures, flows seamlessly into a separate, yet still open, formal dining room that can comfortably accommodate more than 20! Both the living room and dining room highlight the high ceilings, grand proportions, and abundance of windows that make 635 Park one of the Avenue’s grandest residences. Completing the magnificent public areas of the apartment are a chef’s kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room, full pantry, and plenty of storage –the ideal stage for all life’s events.
The home’s private wing spans the north side of the apartment and features a library, master suite with dressing area, and 4 additional bedrooms – each with their own en suite bathrooms. The corner bedroom is currently used as a sun-flooded office complete with three windows overlooking Park Avenue. Gwathmey deftly expanded what was the originally the apartment’s staff hall to create an additional casual entertainment area that is easily accessible from all bedrooms.
With just thirteen full-floor residences, 635 Park Avenue remains one of the Upper East Side’s most highly regarded full-service prewar cooperatives. Ideally located next to New York’s best shopping, dining, and galleries, this historic building also features an on-site fitness center, private storage, and live-in super.
