Overview of 1001 Park Avenue

Located at the northeast corner of Park Avenue and 85th Street, 1001 Park Avenue is a distinguished pre-war cooperative building designed by architects Pleasants Pennington and Albert W. Lewis. Completed in 1929, this 15-story structure features only 21 apartments, ensuring a sense of exclusivity and privacy. The building's architectural style is characterized by a three-story limestone base and a unique fenestration pattern, with large windows on select floors and a Chippendale-style roofline.

Residents enjoy a range of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, private storage, and a pet-friendly policy, although there is no garage or health club on-site. The apartments are known for their spacious layouts, often featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, and wood-burning fireplaces. Notable units include a duplex penthouse with expansive terraces and a classic six-room layout with elegant living spaces.

Historically, the building has housed prominent figures, including Lillie P. Bliss, a founder of the Museum of Modern Art, who resided there with a notable art collection. The building's location offers convenient access to cultural landmarks such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, along with various transportation options, including subway and bus lines.

With its rich history and architectural charm, 1001 Park Avenue stands as a testament to the elegance of Upper East Side living, appealing to those seeking a blend of classic style and modern convenience.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
