993 Park Avenue 11A

Offered for the first time in over 60 years, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire an exceptional park-facing corner Classic Six on a high floor in one of Park Avenue's most distinguished prewar cooperatives. Rarely does a residence of this caliber become available--an extraordinary canvas awaiting your personal touch. Built in 1915 by the renowned Bing & Bing and designed by architect Robert T. Lyons, 993 Park Avenue exudes timeless elegance and architectural pedigree. Measuring over 1,800 square feet, Residence 11A is a home of remarkable scale and grandeur, ideally suited for both refined daily living and impressive entertaining. With extraordinary bones and an unmistakable sense of old New York sophistication, this estate property presents a unique opportunity to restore and reimagine a true classic. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, the apartment offers a magnificent panorama of the Upper East Side from its oversized windows. The gracious layout is defined by soaring 10'4" ceilings, expansive room proportions, original parquet wood floors, abundant closet space, and a working wood-burning fireplace. The grand corner living room, illuminated by four windows facing north and west, captures commanding views over the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola. Off the formal entry foyer, an elegant dining room opens into a sunlit, windowed galley kitchen. Beyond lies the staff room, now an ideal space for a home office, with a half bath and a washer and dryer already installed. The primary bedroom is exceptionally large and well-appointed, with two walk-in closets and a windowed en-suite bath. The second bedroom, nearly as spacious, also features an en-suite bath and two generous closets. Residents of this distinguished cooperative enjoy full-time doorman service, a concierge, and a resident manager. Amenities include a renovated, windowed fitness center, bicycle room, and central laundry room. A private storage unit transfers with the apartment. Pied- -terre purchases, 50% financing, and pets are permitted. A 2% flip tax is payable by the purchaser.
