Carter's Review

This elegant, 13-story apartment building at 760 Park Avenue on the northwest corner at 72nd Street was erected in 1924 by Starrett Brothers & Eken.

It contains 13 full-floor co-operative apartments.

It was designed by Rouse & Goldstone.

Bottom Line

This attractive pre-war with full-floor apartments overlooks an important Park Avenue intersection.

Description

The light-beige brick building has a three-story limestone base and the top floor is also faced with limestone beneath a handsome cornice.

The first floor windows are arched and there is a bandcourse above the third floor, and stringcourses above the fourth, 10th and 12th floors. The building has limestone quoins on the first four floors and masonry quoins on the 5th through the 12th floors.

It permits discrete air-conditioners.

Its canopied entrance is on 72nd Street.

Amenities

The building has a doorman and an elevator operator.

It is pet-friendly.

Apartments

The typical apartment has four bedrooms and a 16-foot-long entrance gallery that opened on a 19-foot-long library, a 28-foot-long living room with fireplace that connected to a 21-foot-long dining room next to a 27-foot-long kitchen with an island and a 13-foot-long breakfast area next to a 16-foot-long media room and a 10-foot-long maid’s room.  The master bedroom at the Park Avenue corner has a fireplace.

History

One of the building’s former residents was Roland L. Redmond, president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Another was William Mack, the chairman of AREA Property Partners and a co-developer of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle.

In 1984, former President Richard M. Nixon decided not to move into the building after “finally persuading shareholders…he would be a good neighbor,” according to a March 2, 1984 article by Susan Heller Anderson and Maurice Carroll in The New York Times.

The building replaced three row houses that faced 72nd Street, according to James Trager, the author of “Park Avenue, Street of Dreams.”
