1105 Park Ave. #11B

THE APARTMENT

Designed in 1923 by Rosario Candela-the preeminent architect of New York’s great apartment houses-1105 Park Avenue, Apartment 11B is a quintessential example of his enduring legacy of proportion, elegance, and quiet grandeur. It also reflects why discerning buyers will often wait years for the opportunity to acquire a Candela residence in estate condition-rather than inherit the compromises of a prior renovation.

Offered for the first time in decades, this high-floor home is bathed in natural light, with four principal rooms (and two bathrooms) enjoying open views over Park Avenue- an exposure that has long made the “B” line particularly prized.

The layout is both classic and highly functional. A signature 29-foot gallery-one of Candela’s most celebrated design elements-creates a striking entrance and an ideal setting for art and collections.
Three generously scaled bedrooms are privately set apart from the entertaining rooms, which feel truly expansive with high ceilings, refined architectural detail, and a wood-burning fireplace. A rarely found 44-foot expanse from living room to dining room enhances both scale and flow.

The rear of the apartment offers meaningful flexibility, including the opportunity to reimagine the kitchen and adjoining staff room into a substantial eat-in kitchen tailored to today’s lifestyle. A second generously sized staff room allows for a variety of additional uses, whether as a home office, expanded service area, or a well-appointed laundry room.

THE BUILDING

1105 Park Avenue is one of Carnegie Hill’s most distinguished prewar cooperatives, occupying a prime corner at 89th Street just moments from Central Park, Museum Mile, and the boutiques and restaurants of Madison Avenue, as well as a concentration of the city’s finest schools.

The building offers the level of service and discretion expected of a classic Park Avenue address, with full-time doorman and concierge staff and a live-in resident manager. Amenities include a large fitness center, bicycle room, and private storage for each residence.

Originally constructed in 1923 and intimate in scale, the cooperative comprises just 57 residences across 14 floors. It permits financing of up to 50% and welcomes pets with Board approval. A 2% flip tax is paid by the purchaser. The building is managed by Brown Harris Stevens.
