Property Description for 930 Park Ave, 5-S
Haven in the Heart of Manhattan
Is there anything more New York City chic than a pre-war Classic 8 in a Renaissance Revival co-op that overlooks Park Avenue? What about if it was decorated by esteemed design firm Kaplan Sandercock and featured in a book about the city’s notable private residences? See our listing photos from the book for a peek at its published history!
930 Park Avenue, Apartment 5S is a rare opportunity to create your own ideal sanctuary. The residence was home for over 30 years to a famous antiques dealer and collector known for her impeccable taste and a distinctive eye for style. The moment you enter the apartment, there’s no doubt why she chose this sprawling 3-bed/3-bath architect’s dream. It can be your dream too! Although the unit is in estate condition, all the original details that make a pre-war so stunning are still intact: 10’ high ceilings, hardwood floors, beautiful crown moldings, custom built-ins, a wood burning fireplace, staff and laundry room. The semi-private elevator landing leads directly to a small entry hall and then to the grand gallery at the heart of the apartment. From there, you can access the formal dining room, the generously sized living room, the eat-in kitchen or any of the three spacious bedrooms. Every single room that flows around the gallery has picture windows that fill the apartment with natural light from the East, South, and West, and offer expansive views facing east over Park Avenue and open western views over charming townhouses gardens. This home is ideal for living and entertaining on any scale.
Combine all this with ample closet space and you have a floorplan that is easily adaptable to the configuration that best suits your needs.
Built in 1916 by Schwartz and Gross, 930 Park Avenue is a distinguished full-service cooperative in one of the most desirable areas in New York. The building offers a well-equipped gym, bike storage, and a private storage unit, plus a superb and responsive staff. In addition to a neighborhood with great schools and multiple modes of transportation, you’ll be mere blocks from Museum Mile, Central Park, boutique shops, and fine restaurants. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. Pied-a-terres permitted and pets welcome.

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.
