Property Description for 941 Park Ave, 11/12C

Set on a prime corner within the Upper East Side's elegant Park Avenue Historic District, 941 Park Avenue is just steps from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. This exceptional residence on the eleventh and twelfth floors offers every traditional feature one expects in a classic prewar duplex, plus extraordinary natural light through four exposures. In addition to exceptionally high beamed ceilings, original details include newly refinished herringbone pattern oak floors throughout most of the main level and crown and base molding in most rooms.

The main floor of the residence, which is entered via a private elevator vestibule, offers an expansive reception gallery, formal living and dining rooms, a traditional library, a truly spacious eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry, multiple staff bedrooms and a laundry room. The second level offers four large bedrooms, including a corner master suite.

A PRESTIGIOUS WHITE-GLOVE PREWAR BUILDING WITH EXCELLENT AMENITIES

Built in 1928 and designed by Schwartz & Gross Architects, 941 Park Avenue is among the most prestigious cooperative apartment buildings on the Upper East Side. Its 16-story neo-Georgian facade features a two-story stone base with redbrick and terracotta trim and two-story arched windows facing Park Avenue. With just 35 residences, and 24/7 white glove service, this building offers remarkable privacy. Amenities include a fully equipped fitness center, a children's playroom, and storage facilities.

EXPANSIVE RECEPTION GALLERY & ELEGANT FORMAL ENTERTAINMENT ROOMS

This residence's private elevator vestibule opens to an expansive reception gallery with soaring ceilings and an oak staircase leading to the upstairs bedrooms. The gallery is set between the living and dining rooms, making the residence ideal for formal entertaining.

The grandly proportioned living room has a wood-burning fireplace with a classical carved white marble mantle and enjoys magnificent southern light through three large windows. The adjacent library, which also enjoys beautiful southern light, has been designed with floor-to-ceiling oak bookshelves and a powder room.

Elegant details in the dining room include raised-panel wainscoting and painted wall murals. The dining room opens to the gallery through French Doors and is easily serviced by the adjacent Butler's Pantry.

OVERSIZED KITCHEN WITH WINDOWED BREAKFAST ROOM

The spacious, light-filled kitchen is beautifully laid out with a large walk-through Butler's Pantry, a cooking area with west-facing windows and a central prep island, and a generously sized breakfast room with north-facing windows. Kitchen features include the original glass-front wood cabinetry, a wet bar, and an oversized wine cave/refrigerator.

Two additional flexible-use rooms with east-facing windows and a shared bath are accessible from the breakfast room. A maid's room with an en-suite bathroom and a large laundry room are both accessible from the Butler's Pantry.

FOUR SPACIOUS BEDROOMS WITH LARGE CLOSETS

The second level of the residence offers four spacious, light-filled bedrooms with high ceilings and newly refinished oak strip flooring, three bathrooms, and a large hallway storage / linen closet.

The corner master bedroom, which is entered through a private vestibule, offers an en-suite windowed bathroom and two large closets. The second and third bedrooms, each of which has a large walk-in closet, share a windowed Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The fourth bedroom offers an en-suite windowed bathroom and a large walk-in closet.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
