Description

Perfectly positioned on the 8th floor of one of Park Avenue's premier prewar cooperatives, this sun-flooded, grandly proportioned corner residence offers the timeless elegance of Old New York, with every modern convenience.
 
Designed in 1916 by the renowned architectural firm Schwartz & Gross, 930 Park Avenue is a white-glove building known for its refined scale, architectural pedigree and generously proportioned interiors. With soaring ceilings reaching up to 10'6", original architectural details and oversized windows that provide captivating open city views in four directions, every room is framed by natural light and timeless architectural detail.
 
A semi-private elevator landing opens into a magnificent entrance gallery, setting the tone for the home's gracious layout and seamless flow. Both architecturally and functionally significant, this  is the heart of the home, serving  as the central axis connecting all four wings of the residence. With natural light filtering in from every direction, it creates an inviting focal point and a seamless sense of flow between the living, entertaining, and private quarters. Off the gallery is an elegant powder room as well as two large closets.
 
The formal entertaining spaces unfold in a gracious enfilade, creating a dramatic procession of beautifully scaled rooms ideal for large-scale entertaining. While each wing is distinct and substantial, the layout offers exceptional flexibility-allowing for private suites to be created or rooms to be elegantly partitioned.
 
The grand living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, is ideal for refined entertaining or quiet evenings at home. A richly appointed library with custom lacquered millwork and walls provides a tranquil space for reading or working, while the formal dining room-an impressive corner room with four oversized windows-overlooks tree-lined 81st Street townhouses and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, creating the perfect backdrop for unforgettable gatherings.
 
The large windowed eat-in kitchen is a true chef's haven, incorporating an oversized built-in dining banquette which is bathed in southern light. It is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Miele dishwasher, Viking oven and range with griddle, Bosch oven, and a Viking wine refrigerator. A generous pantry adds to the abundant storage. This wing enjoys a more discreet entrance-accessible just off the entry gallery or directly from the dining room-enhancing its functionality and privacy. Adjoining the kitchen is a versatile entertainment room and a conveniently located windowed full bath. A spacious staff bedroom-currently configured as a full laundry room with a vented dryer and custom cabinetry-completes this wing.
 
All three principal bedrooms enjoy frontage on Park Avenue, a rare and coveted feature. The expansive corner primary suite is bathed in eastern and northern light through four oversized windows and offers a series of four wall-to-wall closets and a windowed en-suite bath with soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms-each with large closets-share a spacious, windowed bathroom. Additional features include through-the-wall and central air conditioning, antique brass door fixtures and top-of-the-line Waterworks bath fixtures.
 
930 Park Avenue is an impeccably run cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, porters, live-in resident superintendent, a fully equipped gym and a bicycle room. The building allows up to 50% financing, and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser. A storage bin is assigned by the building.
 
This is a rare opportunity to own a distinguished home in one of the most desirable stretches of Park Avenue.
