Property Description for 605 Park Ave, PH
This stunning triplex penthouse boasts a prime Park Avenue location, multiple terraces with views across Manhattan and Central Park, and a floor-to-ceiling glass solarium surrounded by outdoor space.
Enter the apartment on the penthouse floor of 605 Park Avenue, a 105-unit building designed by Sylvan Bien in 1954. This main level is the epitome of classic living space with a wraparound terrace offering outdoor space to seven rooms. The living room boasts access to an additional private terrace, a tranquil spot with lush greenery and skyline views. The living room, on the west wing of the apartment, is joined by a library, dining room, and a spacious modern kitchen. The east wing holds the expansive primary bedroom suite, which includes a large dressing room and marble-lined bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors in the primary bedroom open to a terrace large enough for two to enjoy their morning coffee. Adjacent to the bedroom are a sitting room with an en-suite bathroom and office.
An elegant curving staircase brings you down to a modern entertainment room with an attached wet bar, the second of two kitchens in the residence, and two guest bedrooms.
The apartment's crown jewel can be found on the building's roof. A floor-to-ceiling glass solarium with marble flooring offers additional entertaining space with a wet bar and terraces on either side. The sliding doors can be both opened and stacked to provide an incredible open-air space ideal for dining and entertaining. The solarium offers a unique amenity in an apartment with the grandeur of a historic Upper East Side cooperative in a more modern building.
Brand new windows and doors were installed throughout the home in the summer of 2021.
605 Park Avenue is a full service white glove building that was converted to a cooperative in 1981. The building features a newly-renovated lobby, doorman, live-in resident manager, attended elevator, bike room, laundry room, landscaped outdoor space and a new fitness center. The exterior of the building, one of the finest white brick apartment houses in New York City, was renovated in 2021.

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.
