Classic elegance and contemporary comfort blend seamlessly in this meticulously renovated residence at 1070 Park Avenue, #5D. Set on one of Manhattan’s most iconic thoroughfares, this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers the rare combination of prewar charm and thoughtful, top-to-bottom 21st-century upgrades—all in a prestigious full-service cooperative just two blocks from Central Park.
Originally designed in 1930 by renowned architects Schwartz and Gross, this Park Avenue gem retains all the hallmarks of classic prewar architecture—10-foot beamed ceilings, restored herringbone floors, elegant moldings.
An entry gallery, both gracious and architectural, sets the tone for the home’s refined interior. From the moment you step inside, you're met with treetop vistas and a layout that unfolds with intention and ease. The expansive living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and flanked by oversized windows, exudes warmth and character. Custom built-ins and integrated Sonos speakers elevate the space for effortless everyday living and elegant entertaining alike.
The formal dining room is a showstopper—generously proportioned and adaptable to your needs, whether you envision refined dinner parties, a cozy den, or a third bedroom.
The windowed kitchen is a masterclass in modern design. Outfitted with white quartz countertops and top-of-the-line Bertazzoni appliances, it also features a spacious pantry and a vented Miele washer/dryer. A tucked-away home office and beautifully renovated, windowed half-bath add flexibility and function to daily living.
Tucked away from the living spaces, the private bedroom wing ensures peace and privacy. The spacious primary suite is a retreat unto itself, featuring a custom-designed walk-in closet and a serene, spa-quality en suite bath with double sinks, radiant heated floors, and timeless finishes. The second bedroom also enjoys its own en suite windowed bath and north-facing views of tree-lined 88th Street.
A large private storage unit transfers with the apartment, and building amenities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, fitness center, lending library, bike room, and a half basketball court. Major capital improvements—such as brand-new elevators—are fully funded, and the cooperative boasts exceptional financials with no maintenance increases in 2025.
This is not just a residence—it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Park Avenue perfection.
