Description
Designed in 1929 by the renowned architects Rosario Candela and Arthur Loomis Harmon, 740 Park Avenue is a landmarked co-op that has long been one of Manhattan’s most coveted residential addresses. Grand proportions and enduring elegance suffuse interiors, where mansion-like residences boast exquisite pre-war architecture and embody sophisticated, functional design.
This regal 5-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom duplex sits between Park and Madison Avenues, two blocks from Central Park.
Refined original details blend with classic Lenox Hill aesthetics, creating alluring rooms with distinctive period features.
Residents arrive on a private elevator landing leading to a remarkable gallery with marble floors, a built-in wall mirror, a powder room, and a sensuously curving staircase. Double doors reveal formal living and dining rooms and a stately library with wood-paneled walls, built-in shelves, and a wood-burning fireplace with an ornate mantel.
All three spaces are ideal for grand entertaining and intimate gatherings.
The living room spans over 35 feet long and has a fireplace, four oversized sash windows, intricate crown molding, and original Versailles hardwood floors. The dining room can easily accommodate a table for 10 and flows into a fully equipped butler’s kitchen.
