This grand, 8 room residence offers an elegant layout and pre-war charm across approximately 3,000 square feet of graciously proportioned living space overlooking Park Avenue.
A semi-private elevator landing opens to an expansive Entry Gallery, an art collector's dream, followed by the 3015 Living Room with wood-burning fireplace and windows west over Park Avenue. The room flows seamlessly into an equally impressive Dining Room - stretching over 50 feet in total. The adjacent kitchen area is currently organized as a butler's pantry, windowed kitchen and 2 staff rooms (one with full bath), and offers endless possibilities to customize to one's needs.
The bedroom wing features three oversized, Park Avenue-facing bedrooms. The Primary Suite offers two generous walk-in closets and a windowed en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms each have their own walk-in closets and share a spacious, windowed bathroom. A Powder Room may be added between the two secondary bedrooms, subject to board approval.
There are beautifully maintained hardwood floors and 9'8" ceilings throughout. The use of a storage unit is provided to every apartment.
Built in 1925, 1165 Park Avenue is a full-service cooperative in the heart of Carnegie Hill, 2 blocks from Central Park, wonderful shopping and dining, and moments from many of Manhattans top schools. Amenities include a gym, playroom, central laundry, and bike storage.
Up to 50% financing is permitted, and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
Quick Profile
Carnegie Hill is a small neighborhood at the northern tip of the Upper East Side that borders Central Park. It is steeped in history, great wealth, architecture and culture. It is known for its world-class museums and its rows of historic mansions. Nothing much changes here as the entire area is landmarked, preventing the proliferation of high-rise developments. Thus the buildings stay a human scale, the sky is aplenty and the neighborhood kind of feels like a small town to its long time residents.
The name Carnegie Hill is derived from the industrial magnate Andrew Carnegie, when Carnegie decided to build himself a mansion at 91st Street and Fifth Avenue….
Carnegie Hill is a family neighborhood with old fashioned upper crust money. The mid-rise co-ops that line the avenues are among the most prestigious addresses in the city. The avenues are lined with small restaurants, boutique shops
The residential towers that have proliferated on the eastside of Third Avenue in the East 90s simply do not exist between Lexington and Fifth.
