Cathy Franklin, Alexis Bodenheimer and Shannon Suydam of Corcoran have closed the sale of Duplex 6/7D at 740 Park Avenue, a palatial southwest corner residence in Rosario Candela's celebrated limestone co-op. The home sold for $21,899,000 in September 2026.

Set across the sixth and seventh floors, the sixteen-into-fourteen-room duplex has ceilings of nearly 11 feet, three wood-burning fireplaces and a wealth of preserved historic detail. A private elevator landing opens onto a rectangular gallery anchored by Candela's signature curved staircase. From there, the entertaining rooms unfold in sequence. The corner living room and the richly paneled library both have wood-burning fireplaces and face south, so they take in natural light all day along with open city views. The living room also looks west over St. James' Church toward Central Park. A formal dining room built for large gatherings adjoins a conservatory that connects back to the living room. A powder room and coat closet sit off the gallery.

The windowed eat-in kitchen has room for dining and is joined by a separate windowed breakfast room. The service wing includes a well-appointed pantry, a staff bedroom and bath, a laundry room and a second powder room, with a back staircase to the upper floor.

Upstairs is given over to private quarters. The primary suite was created by combining two bedrooms. It holds the prime southwest corner and the third wood-burning fireplace, along with a windowed dressing room and an en-suite bath with two sinks, two water closets, a separate shower and a soaking tub. Next to it, a large south-facing bedroom has its own windowed bath and a wet bar. Three more generously sized bedrooms, each with excellent closet space, share two additional windowed baths. Each apartment in the building is assigned a storage room and a wine cellar.

740 Park Avenue ranks among Manhattan's most storied residential landmarks, known for its monumental fluted limestone facade. The full-service co-op offers full-time doormen, porters, a live-in resident manager and a private fitness center.

Franklin, Bodenheimer and Suydam represented the seller together at Corcoran. With this close, they add one of Park Avenue's landmark duplexes to their record.
