Building: 7 Park Avenue

The Seven Park Avenue, located at East 34th Street, serves as the gateway to the world’s most prestigious boulevard — Park Avenue — and is poised mid-point between the offices, shops and theaters of Midtown and the burgeoning tech, restaurant and hotel scenes in NoMad and the Flat Iron. Overlooking the Murray Hill Historic District where brownstone mansions border tree-lined streets, it is among Midtown’s most elegant cooperatives.

Erected in phases between 1928 and 1953, the building’s architects include Emery Roth who designed celebrated apartment houses on Central Park West such as the San Remo, El Dorado and Beresford (whose silhouette The Seven Park Avenue’s distinctive water tower recalls). Roth also contributed the building’s dramatic, multi-level lobby, a masterpiece of marble, terrazzo and trompe l’oeil – one of Manhattan’s best. Recently restored and renovated, the building’s lobby and halls reflect the pride of resident owners in the building’s provenance.

Featuring apartments from studios to duplex and triplex penthouses, The Seven Park Avenue also offers an array of classic one-bedroom and larger units, several of which feature setback terraces with impressive skyline views. Its amenities are “white glove” with doormen and concierge, resident superintendent, large staff, adjacent garage and elegant roof deck, available for private parties, with view of the Empire State Building. Villa Berulia, the white tablecloth restaurant, is located on the premises.

The Seven Park Avenue is convenient to everything at Manhattan’s center: the shops and restaurants at Grand Central Terminal; the cultural events at Bryant Park, The New York Public Library, Morgan Library and Scandinavia House; “Club Row” with Princeton, Columbia, Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn, Harvard and MIT Clubs; the farmers’ market and restaurants of Union and Madison Squares; and the lively social scenes at the Gansevoort Park, Ace, NoMad, W-Union Square and Gramercy Park Hotels. Within a one-block radius of the building are the Lexington Avenue subway, multiple bus lines and several grocers, pharmacies and health clubs (for example, Equinox, Boom and New York Sports) – in other words, all that’s needed for the busy New Yorker’s lifestyle. Meanwhile, LaGuardia and JFK airports are readily accessible via the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. And along Park Avenue the best steak may be enjoyed at Wolfgang’s Restaurant, the best cheeses at Artisanal, the best sushi at the Kitano Hotel and the best fish at the Oyster Bar, all a short walk from The Seven Park Avenue.
The building permits up to 75 percent financing and subletting with board approval following three years’ owner occupancy.
