Maisonette C at 775 Park Avenue offers a rare opportunity to own a Rosario Candela–designed residence with a private entrance on one of Manhattan’s most distinguished blocks. Located between 72nd and 73rd Street, the duplex spans two full floors and more than 67 feet of Park Avenue frontage within one of the city’s most impeccably maintained prewar cooperatives. Candela is a renowned architect known for creating some of the city’s most sought-after pre-war residential buildings. 

“As one of the very few residences on Park Avenue with its own private entrance directly on the avenue, Maisonette C offers the scale and feel of a private townhouse with the white-glove services of a full-service building,” says listing agent Filippa Edberg-Manuel of Christie’s International Real Estate. That combination of privacy and service defines the appeal of this address, where classic proportions and modern flow intersect seamlessly.

Inside, nearly 14-foot ceilings and a 52-foot-wide living room establish a sense of scale rarely found in cooperative homes. The architecture reflects Candela’s signature balance of grace and proportion, with the grand living area reimagined for contemporary life. “The grand proportions of Rosario Candela’s classic pre-war architecture have been customized into a 52-foot-wide, loft-like living room with bespoke seating areas, a stunning architectural fireplace, and incredible art walls fit for a collector,” Edberg-Manuel explains.

The living spaces flow naturally into a series of more intimate rooms—a mahogany-paneled library with a wood-burning fireplace, a home office, and a formal dining room with balanced, square geometry. “An elegant, clean-lined architectural fireplace provides a dramatic focal point for a custom-built seating arrangement, creating a sophisticated space for entertaining,” Edberg-Manuel adds. The kitchen, finished in white lacquered Boffi cabinetry and equipped with Miele appliances, combines design and practicality. Its large island of White Macauba Quartzite serves as both workspace and gathering point, while an adjoining bar links the kitchen to the main entertaining area.

Upstairs, the second floor serves as the private wing of the home, organized around a central hall. The primary suite faces a quiet courtyard and includes two windowed bathrooms and generous dressing space. Four additional bedrooms maintain the same proportion and light, offering flexibility for guests or family.

Built in 1927, 775 Park Avenue remains one of the city’s most respected Candela buildings, known for its craftsmanship and service. Its location in Lenox Hill places residents close to restaurants, shops, and cultural institutions that define the Upper East Side experience.
