Property Description for 730 Park Ave, 11-C
THE RESIDENCE
From the private eleventh-floor landing, enter the 11-foot square gallery of this meticulously renovated three-bedroom cooperative. Facing north and west, the corner living room features a fireplace, windows north overlooking the limestone facade of 740 Park Avenue, and a western corner window with lush Central Park views down East 71st Street. The formal dining room includes two north-facing windows, a hinged door leading to the living room, a second leading to the kitchen, and double-doors opening onto the gallery allowing for either private or open dining. The gallery also includes a large public coat closet and lavish marble half bath.
The corridor to the kitchen includes a closet either for panty use or coat closet, one of two service exits, before opening onto the beautifully outfitted chef's kitchen. Combining the original pantry with the kitchen, the result is a large open kitchen with ample eat-in space, replete with storage, a large marble countertop, twin ovens, SubZero, and elegant finishes throughout.
The original staff hallway and two staff bedrooms have been opened up to create a large third bedroom off the kitchen with an en-suite full bath. This bedroom can be opened onto the kitchen for use as a playroom or office, but it also features two glass-paned doors that can be closed to create a large private bedroom with ample closet space and access to the rear service entry.
On the opposite side of the apartment, facing west and south, two large bedrooms with large en-suite baths are positioned off a private corridor from the gallery, creating an ideal separation of public and private spaces.
THE BUILDING
Designed by Lafayette A. Goldstone in 1929, this 20-story neo-Renaissance and neo-Jacobean style cooperative was converted in 1945. Featuring a two-story limestone base and red, Flemish-bond brick with stone detailing above, the side-street entrance on East 71st Street provides a more private entryway off Park Avenue. There is a gym in the basement and full-time staff including doormen and an attended elevator.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
