1105 PARK Avenue 2B

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Inside the Park Avenue Historic District, 1105 Park Avenue was built in 1923 and rises 14 stories with 57 units, and the listing calls this apartment a classic eight room home in a Candela building. The layout shows that age in the way the rooms are defined.

The apartment has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The kitchen is the change I'd look at first. About 10 years ago it was redone to take in one of the small service rooms, which gives you an eat-in kitchen where you can actually sit and eat without leaving the cooking space. That's a practical gain in a prewar plan.

The listing mentions views of the Park Avenue Mall, and the building lists a city view among the home features. A fireplace is also included. The washer and dryer sit inside the unit, which you'll notice every week in a building this size.

Central Park is about 6 minutes on foot, and the 86 St station for the 4, 5 and 6 trains is about 5 minutes away. Annie's Fruit and Vegetable and Gristedes are each about 2 minutes on foot, so daily errands stay close.

Because this is a co-op, the purchase goes through the building's board, and the review and approval process is specific to 1105 Park Avenue. It's worth going through the building's requirements early. The building does allow pets and has a bike room.
