635 Park Ave, an iconic Park Avenue co-op residence that is any art collector's dream home. Originally designed in 1912 by the legendary J.E.R. Carpenter, this full-floor home on the 6th floor with more than 4,000 square feet represents the pinnacle of Manhattan apartment living with picturesque views of both Park Avenue and the historic Park Avenue Armory, and enough wall space to accommodate almost any personal art collection.
Having undergone a complete renovation by famed architects Gwathmey Siegel Kaufman Architects, the interiors of this grand apartment in the premier pre- war building have been reimagined for a decidedly modern lifestyle that seamlessly blends both large-scale entertaining and easy everyday living. Step off the apartment’s private elevator landing into a formal gallery that is the perfect space to feature one’s personal art collection. The gallery, which is the heart of the apartment, leads to both the sprawling public spaces and intimate bedroom wing.
The 32-foot living room, featuring south and west exposures, flows seamlessly into a separate, yet still open, formal dining room that can comfortably accommodate more than 20 people! Priced at $9.995 million, both the living room and dining room highlight the high ceilings, grand proportions, and an abundance of windows that make 635 Park one of the Avenue'sgrandest residences. Completing the magnificent public areas of the apartment are a chef’s kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room, full pantry, and plenty of storage.
The home’s private wing spans the north side of the apartment and features a library, master suite with dressing area, and 4 additional bedrooms – each with their own en suite bathrooms. The corner bedroom is currently used as a sun-flooded office complete with three windows overlooking Park Avenue. Gwathmey deftly expanded the apartment's original staff hall to create an additional entertainment area that is easily accessible from all bedrooms.
With just thirteen full-floor residences, 635 Park Avenue remains one of the Upper East Side’s most highly regarded full-service prewar cooperatives. Ideally located next to New York’s best shopping, dining, and galleries, this historic building also features an on-site fitness center, private storage, and live-in super. 50% financing is now permitted.
I have attached photos below and would be delighted to send you individual jpgs. To note, art highlighted in the apartment includes pieces by artist David Wojnarowicz who has an upcoming exhibition at the Whitney this July, and Joe Zucker, whose art was shown at the David Nolan Gallery in NYC.
