Property Description for 863 Park Ave, 9-W

Sun-Filled Prewar 3BR with Juliet Balcony on Park Avenue

Bathed in beautiful southern and western light, Apartment 9W is an elegant 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath prewar residence offering classic proportions, gracious entertaining spaces, and a charming Juliet balcony overlooking the Park Avenue Esplanade.

Accessed via a semi-private landing, the home opens into a welcoming foyer and central gallery that set the tone for the residence's timeless character. Nearly 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, hardwood floors, and refined architectural details create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout.

The expansive corner living room is flooded with sunlight from multiple exposures and features a wood-burning fireplace and access to a lovely Juliet balcony - a rare and inviting feature that brings in fresh air and greenery from Park Avenue below. Adjacent to the living room, the generously scaled formal dining room offers an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The thoughtfully designed kitchen features excellent storage and workspace, stainless steel appliances, and an in-unit washer/dryer.

Privately situated away from the entertaining rooms, the bedroom wing offers a comfortable and functional layout. The primary bedroom enjoys beautiful light, generous closet space including a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath. A second well-proportioned bedroom sits nearby, while the third bedroom is ideal as a guest room, nursery, or home office.

Built in 1908 and designed by Pollard & Steinam, 863 Park Avenue was the first residential building constructed on Park Avenue above 57th Street. With only 25 residences and two apartments per floor, the cooperative offers an intimate and distinctive old-world ambiance rarely found today. Amenities include a full-time elevator operator, resident manager, bicycle room, laundry room, and private storage cage that transfers with the apartment.

Perfectly positioned moments from The Carlyle, The Mark, Sant Ambroeus, Madison Avenue boutiques and restaurants, world-class museums, top schools, and Central Park, Apartment 9W offers quintessential Upper East Side living.

The building is pet friendly, permits pieds-à-terre, allows up to 50% financing, and there is a 3% flip tax.

Please note there is an ongoing assessment of $406.26/month through October 2029 to replenish the building's reserve fund.

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.
