If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to own a classic pre-war residence, now is the time to consider 1040 Park Avenue.
Perfectly positioned on the iconic northwest corner of Park Avenue and 86th Street, just two blocks from Central Park, this elegant five-room residence offers the timeless scale, architectural character, and gracious proportions that define Carnegie Hill’s most distinguished homes.
The expansive living room and formal dining room were originally part of a grand twelve-room apartment, creating an extraordinary sense of volume rarely found today. A wood-burning fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the living room, while the oversized eat-in kitchen, separate laundry room with in-unit washer and dryer, along with additional generous sized laundry room in the building. Two generously proportioned bedrooms, two baths, and exceptional walk-in closet space provide both comfort and functionality.
For buyers seeking additional flexibility, this floor plan has been successfully reconfigured in other apartments within the building to create a three-bedroom residence.
Additional private storage is available in the building for a monthly fee, subject to availability.
