For art lovers and connoisseurs of classic Manhattan architecture, few addresses carry the timeless allure of Park Avenue. A striking prewar duplex spanning the seventh and eighth floors of 730 Park Avenue\u2014an exceptionally elegant cooperative building situated at the prestigious corner of East 71st Street\u2014has returned to the market with a refreshed asking price of $17 million. <\/p>\n

Reached via a private elevator, the residence offers a seamless blend of historic grandeur and contemporary luxury. Expertly restored and meticulously updated with custom finishes, the home incorporates a suite of modern conveniences while carefully preserving its architectural pedigree. State-of-the-art upgrades include advanced air conditioning, Lutron lighting systems, and integrated sound and shade control infrastructure. Spanning more than 5,400 square feet of interior space, the expansive residence accommodates five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a powder room, all while boasting an impressive footprint featuring more than 50 feet of coveted east-facing frontage directly along Park Avenue.<\/p>\n

The building itself stands as a monument to the architectural opulence of the late 1920s. Erected in 1928, the 19-story cooperative was designed by the renowned architectural partnership of F. Burrall Hoffman, Jr. and Lafayette A. Goldstone, who imbued the structure with distinguished Jacobean and Tudor architectural elements. Decades later, many of the building\u2019s original details remain remarkably intact and brilliantly maintained, ranging from formal entry galleries and generous ceiling heights to ornate moldings and rich herringbone hardwood floors.<\/p>\n

Beyond the private landing on the seventh floor, visitors are greeted by a 27-foot-long entrance gallery. Featuring a striking spiral staircase that connects the home\u2019s two levels, the gallery provides ample, gallery-scale wall space designed explicitly for the display of fine art paintings and major sculptures. This magnificent entry hall opens gracefully onto a spacious living room centered around a sophisticated black-and-white marble fireplace, as well as a formal dining room well-suited for grand-scale entertaining. <\/p>\n

Further enriching the layout on the lower level is a sophisticated library featuring a second fireplace. The library flows directly into a dedicated office space, which in turn connects to an intimate den through a richly appointed wet bar outfitted with a sleek stone countertop. Tucked away on this level is a thoroughly modernized kitchen that incorporates a dedicated breakfast area complete with built-in seating, balancing formal elegance with everyday practicality.<\/p>\n

Ascending the spiral staircase leads to the private quarters on the eighth floor, where all five bedrooms are thoughtfully situated. The upper level includes three secondary bedrooms, each benefiting from its own private en-suite bathroom, alongside a separate staff suite designed to accommodate household personnel or provide flexible independent living space. <\/p>\n

At the end of the upper hall lies the expansive primary suite bedroom, a quiet sanctuary bathed in natural light that pools across cream silk-colored walls. Centered around a cozy fireplace and featuring a generous sitting area, the primary suite offers a true retreat from the bustling pace of the city. The private quarters are rounded out by two luxurious marble bathrooms and two custom-fitted dressing rooms, providing abundant storage and high-end finishes.<\/p>\n

The property’s journey on the real estate market reflects shifting market conditions over the past year. The duplex was initially introduced to prospective buyers in September 2025 with an ambitious asking price of $20 million. As market dynamics evolved, the price was subsequently adjusted downward to $18 million before the property was temporarily withdrawn from listings. It has now returned to the market this fall with a revised price tag of $17 million. <\/p>\n

The high-profile listing is shared by a powerhouse team of luxury brokers, including Allison L. Chiaramonte and Tania Isacoff Friedland of the Atelier Team at Compass, alongside Serena Boardman of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. <\/p>\n

Located in the heart of Manhattan\u2019s exclusive Lenox Hill neighborhood, 730 Park Avenue places residents just a stone\u2019s throw from cultural landmarks such as the renowned Frick Collection. The pet-friendly cooperative building ensures a high level of privacy and service, offering residents a marble-clad lobby, full-time door attendants and porters, a private fitness center, and dedicated private storage facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
