Overview of 1045 Park Avenue

1045 Park Avenue is a distinguished pre-war cooperative building located at the northeast corner of 85th Street, constructed in 1923 and converted to a co-op in 1983. Designed by the architectural firm Schwartz & Gross, this 15-story structure comprises 41 apartments, offering a blend of classic elegance and modern amenities. The building features a canopied entrance leading to a step-down lobby, and while it lacks balconies and a garage, it provides a 24-hour doorman service, enhancing the living experience for its residents.

The apartments at 1045 Park Avenue are characterized by their spacious layouts and high ceilings, with many units featuring fireplaces and large windows that allow for abundant natural light. Notable residences include a full-floor apartment on the 10th floor, which spans approximately 4,200 square feet and includes six bedrooms, a library, and a chef's kitchen equipped with Sub-Zero appliances. Other units showcase elegant details such as herringbone parquet floors, beamed ceilings, and custom cabinetry, making them ideal for both entertaining and comfortable living.

The building's prime location offers residents easy access to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the upscale shopping and dining options along Madison Avenue. With a pet-friendly policy and the allowance for up to 50% financing, 1045 Park Avenue appeals to a diverse range of buyers. The cooperative also has a monthly assessment of $1,321 for capital improvements, ensuring the building remains well-maintained and up-to-date.

While the building has seen various ownership changes since its inception, it has maintained its status as a sought-after residence in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood. The combination of its architectural charm, desirable amenities, and prime location makes 1045 Park Avenue a notable address in New York City.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "handsome pre-war co-op" offers "thoughtfully modernized" living with "newly installed windows" throughout and convenient through-wall A/C. The "freshly renovated" lobby and hallways maintain the building's classic appeal, while "practical amenities" include storage and a bike room. "Perfectly positioned" near the 86th Street subway with "excellent access" to schools and restaurants, this 15-story residence earns praise for its "reasonable board" and "prime Upper East Side location."

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.
