Property Description for 730 Park Ave, 3-C

This grand prewar eleven room residence is located in the premier white-glove co-operative, 730 Park Avenue. Perfectly proportioned, the home has oversized entertaining rooms, two wood burning fireplaces, treetop views, and exquisitely preserved prewar architectural details. There are three to four bedroom suites, two staff bedrooms, five full windowed bathrooms and a powder room. The entertaining rooms include a living room, a formal dining room, a library, a windowed eat-in kitchen with a windowed breakfast room, and a butler's pantry.

A private elevator landing opens onto a large entrance gallery providing an impressive introduction to the home. There is a beautiful enfilade of entertainment rooms all overlooking the treetops on 71st Street. The living room is 27-feet long and features the first wood-burning fireplace and herringbone floors. Adjacent is the handsome library which has custom built-ins and houses the second wood-burning fireplace. At the end is the elegant formal dining room which can seat 20 guests. There is a windowed eat-in kitchen as well as a large windowed breakfast room. Located off the kitchen is a separate butler's pantry with a sink, second dishwasher, a large closet, and a laundry area. The staff quarters include an oversized bedroom and an en-suite windowed bathroom. A powder room and three large closets complete the public spaces.

As for the private quarters, there is an extraordinary primary bedroom suite which includes a separate office with a built-in desk and treetop views overlooking the neighboring townhouse gardens. There is a large walk-in closet with built-ins as well as a luxurious dressing room with four closets outfitted with custom built-ins. Currently the primary bedroom has access to two windowed bathrooms - one with a shower and the other with a shower/bathtub. There are two additional bedroom suites both with excellent closet space and en-suite windowed bathrooms. The second staff bedroom is currently being used as an office but can be converted into a fourth bedroom by taking part of the breakfast room. Completing the home are two hallway closets.

The building allows up to 50% financing and there is a 3% flip tax paid by the purchaser. One storage bin is assigned to the apartment.

Ideally situated in the heart of one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in New York City, 730 Park Avenue is a prewar boutique co-operative that was built in 1928 by F. Burrall Hoffman Jr. and Lafayette A. Goldstone in the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Jacobean style. It houses only forty residences. There is a large renovated gym in the building, full-time doormen, a live-in resident manager and a bicycle room.

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.
