Nan pye Lenox Hill, gen 640 Park Avenue, ki te devlope okòmansman pa Fullerton Weaver Realty Company an 1914.

Sa gen yon syèk, The Real Estate Record & Guide, jounal endistri imobilye ki te gen anpil enfliyans nan epòk li a, te ekri achitèk J.E.R. Carpenter “se te papa gwo apatman modèn nan New York.” Pita, Christopher Gray nan The New York Times te ekri: “An 1914, Mesye Carpenter te desine 640 Park, nan 66th Street, e li te posede yon pati ladan l ankò. Bilding lan fèt nèt an kalkè, ak de seri fenèt nan stil Florentin, epi gen yon apatman senk chanm sou chak etaj. Sa te make antre li nan nivo apatman liksye ki pi wo yo, avèk yon galri apa, yon sal resepsyon, yon kav diven ak sis chanm pou sèvitè, ladan yo yon seksyon apa pou butler la ak ‘dezyèm nonm nan.’”

Lè w rive sou nevyèm etaj la epi ou debake nan pwòp espas prive ou devan asansè a, deskripsyon Gray te fè sou konsepsyon Carpenter la vin pran tout sans li. Lè w antre toutbon nan galri a, ki gen anviwon 375 pye kare e ki pafè pou ekspoze zèv atizay, volim ekstraòdinè kay sa a frape w imedyatman. Pandan w ap plonje nan espas la, ou reyalize w ap fè eksperyans yon bagay diferan, yon bagay espesyal: plafon ki gen 10 pye wotè, ansanm ak yon kantite fenèt gwo ki bay deyò, kat oryantasyon, bèl vi ak reyon solèy ak limyè k ap antre toupatou.

Sal datant ki bèl e dramatik la, ki oryante nan direksyon sidès, ansanm ak sal manje a ki gen dimansyon ekstraòdinè, te fèt epi plase longè sou Park Avenue pou amelyore limyè natirèl la. Chanm sa yo lonje sou prèske 70 pye, ak vi louvri sou Armory istorik la, ki te konstwi an 1879. Tousuit apre galri a, gen yon bèl bibliyotèk ki bay nan sid, ansanm ak yon koridò ki ra e atiran, 7 pye lajè epi prèske 48 pye longè, ki mennen w nan zèl prive ki izole a. Li revele plis toujou pwopòsyon inik ak grandè rezidans sa a ki pran tout etaj la, epi ki gen kounye a 15 chanm, ladan yo 5 chanm dòmi, 6 twalèt ak de chanm pou pèsonèl. Pou w byen konprann mèvèy kay sa a, fòk ou viv eksperyans lan pèsonèlman.

Koperativ-boutik sa a, ki sitiye nan kwen nòdwès 66th Street, se youn nan kèk koperativ vrèman eksklizif ak distenge sou tout Park Avenue. Li toupre restoran, boutik, divètisman, atizay ak kilti ki gen renome mondyal, tankou Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Frick Collection ak Lincoln Center; lis la kontinye. Kote a san parèy. Gen pòtayis ki travay tout jounen, yon manadjè rezidan, epi yon gwo espas depo ki ladan l. Pa gen règ pou travay pandan sezon ete, epi apatman segondè yo ansanm ak finansman 35% pèmèt. Se achtè a ki dwe peye yon taks transfè 2.5%.

At the foot of Lenox Hill is 640 Park Avenue, which was originally developed by the Fullerton Weaver Realty Company in 1914.

A century ago, The Real Estate Record & Guide, the industry rag of its day, wrote that architect J.E.R. Carpenter "was the father of the modern large apartment here in New York." Later Christopher Gray of The NYT wrote that, "In 1914 Mr. Carpenter designed, and again partly owned, the impressive 640 Park, at 66th Street. It is all limestone, with double sets of Florentine-style windows and one five-bedroom apartment per floor. This marked his arrival into the stratosphere of luxury apartments, with a separate gallery, reception room, wine closet and six servants' rooms, including a separate section for the butler and the 'second man.'"

Upon arriving on the 9th floor and your own private elevator landing, Gray's description of Carpenter's design comes off the page. Once you indeed enter into the commodious, nearly 375 sqft gallery, which is perfect for art, you are struck by the extraordinary volume of this home. As you immerse yourself into the space you realize that your experiencing something different, something special, 10' ceilings and innumerable large outward facing windows, four exposures, views and streams of sun and light throughout. The gorgeous and dramatic SE facing living room and oversized dining room were designed and intentionally positioned lengthwise along Park Avenue to enhance that light. These rooms span nearly 70' with open views overlooking the historic Armory which was built in 1879. Just off the gallery is a lovely south facing library and an unusual and seductive 7' wide and nearly 48' long corridor which leads you to the secluded private wing and further reveals the unique proportion and expansiveness of this full floor residence, currently 15 rooms, inclusive of 5 bedrooms, 6 baths and two staff rooms. To fully grasp the wonders of this home, it must be experienced.

This boutique cooperative on the NW corner of 66th Street, is one of the select-few truly exclusive and distinguished cooperatives on all of Park Avenue. In close proximity to world class restaurants, shopping, entertainment, art and culture, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Frick Collection, Lincoln Center the list goes on the location is unparalleled. There are full time doormen, a resident manager, and a large storage bin is included. There are no summer work rules and pied-a-terres and 35% financing are permitted. There is a 2.5% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
