Simple city living in one of my favorite classic Park Avenue co-ops.
This spacious one-bedroom is filled with the kind of old-world New York charm that simply cannot be recreated. High ceilings, original wood floors, classic moldings, French doors and preserved prewar details give the apartment a character and warmth that immediately sets it apart.
There's a real sense of owning a piece of New York history here, on Park Avenue , one of the most classic streets in the city.
The generous layout gives you ample space to spread out and create a real home, with fantastic closet space throughout. The quiet bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed. The windowed kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, gas range and plenty of storage, while the dual-entry bathroom retains its classic basket-weave tile.
Designed by renowned architect Fred F. French and built in 1924, 16 Park Avenue is an intimate, beautifully maintained co-op with just four apartments per floor. Fresh flowers greet you adorning the facade and the lobby is staffed with some of the best staff and doormen in the business . Warm, attentive and a huge part of what makes living here so special.
Residents enjoy a private garden, full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike room and storage. Pets are welcome.
For all its old-world charm, the convenience is hard to beat. Grand Central, The Morgan Library, shopping, dining and some of Midtown's busiest commercial corridors are all close by, with easy access uptown, downtown and across the city.
Classic Park Avenue character, generous space and the stability of a well-run co-op, at a price point that makes owning a piece of New York history attainable.
