Iliyoundwa mnamo mwaka wa 1929 na wasanifu maarufu Rosario Candela na Arthur Loomis Harmon, 740 Park Avenue ni jengo la kihistoria la ushirikiano ambalo kwa muda mrefu limekuwa moja ya anwani zinazopendwa zaidi za makazi katika Manhattan. Mipana mikubwa na mvuto wa kudumu vinajaza ndani, ambapo makazi yanayofanana na majengo makubwa yana muundo mzuri wa kabla ya vita na yanaakisi muundo wa kisasa na wenye kazi.

Hii ni duplex ya kifahari yenye vyumba vitano vya kulala na mabafu 6.5 iliyoko kati ya Park na Madison Avenues, blok mbili kutoka Central Park. Maelezo ya asili ya kifahari yanachanganya na mtindo wa kiasilia wa Lenox Hill, na kuunda vyumba vyenye mvuto na vipengele vya kipekee vya wakati.

Wakazi huingia kwenye eneo la lifti binafsi linaloelekea kwenye ukumbi wa ajabu wenye sakafu za marmor, kioo kilichojengwa ukutani, chumba cha vumbi, na ngazi inayovutia yenye umbo la minyoo. Milango miwili inafunua sebule rasmi na vyumba vya kula na maktaba ya kifahari yenye kuta za mbao, rafu zilizojengwa, na chimney inayoshika moto ya kuni yenye sidiria ya mapambo. Sehemu hizi tatu zote ni za kufaaa kwa ajili ya sherehe kubwa na mikusanyiko ya karibu.

Sebule ina urefu wa zaidi ya miguu 35 na ina chimney, madirisha manne makubwa ya sash, mipambo tata ya taji, na sakafu za hardwood za asili za Versailles. Chumba cha chakula kinaweza kwa urahisi kukidhi meza ya watu 18 na kinatiririshwa kuelekea jikoni ya msaidizi iliyo kamili.

Jikoni ya mpishi yenye madirisha imeandaliwa kwa wapikaji wa nyumbani na waandaaji wa sherehe wa kitaalamu sawa. Ina meza kubwa ya kazi, meza za juisi za chuma zisizo na kutu, nafasi kubwa ya kuhifadhi, na vifaa vya juu vya chuma zisizo na kutu, ikiwemo friji mbili kubwa na vifaa viwili vya gesi. Chumba cha kunywa asubuhi kilichokuwa nyuma ya jikoni kina ngazi ya ziada. Vyumba vya wafanyakazi na chumba cha kufulia chenye madirisha na kisima cha matumizi na mashine ya kufulia na kukaushia vinakamilisha ngazi ya chini.

Vyumba vyote vitano vya kulala na ofisi nyingine viko kwenye ngazi ya juu. Suite ya msingi inapata mwangaza mzuri wa kusini na ina ukuta wa makabati ya kufikia, chumba kikubwa cha kubadilisha nguo, na bafuni yenye madirisha. Vyumba vitatu vya sekondari vina bajeti za kibinafsi, na vyote vina nafasi kubwa ya makabati. Vitengo vya wafanyakazi vinajumuisha vyumba viwili, bafuni yenye madirisha, na jiko dogo.

Wakazi wa 740 Park Avenue wanapata huduma isiyo na kasoro inayotolewa na wahudumu wa milango wa wakati wote, wahudumu, na meneja wa makazi. Muonekano wa nje wa jengo hili ni wa chokaa wa kipekee na unalinganishwa na lobby iliyo na mapambo ya kifahari, na vifaa vinajumuisha kituo cha mazoezi ya binafsi cha kisasa na vitengo vya kuhifadhi vilivyotengwa. Wanyama wa nyumbani wanakaribishwa kwa furaha.
