Overview of 55 Park Avenue

55 Park Avenue is a boutique co-op building designed by the esteemed Fred F. French Company and completed in 1922. This elegant, 16-story structure features only two apartments per floor, ensuring a high level of privacy and exclusivity for its residents. The building is well-maintained and offers a full-time doorman, elevator operator, and live-in superintendent, along with a central laundry room and basement storage. Pets and pied-Ă -terre arrangements are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Located in the heart of Murray Hill, 55 Park Avenue is just steps away from Grand Central Terminal, providing easy access to multiple subway lines and Metro-North. The surrounding area boasts a variety of dining, shopping, and cultural landmarks, including Bryant Park and the Morgan Library. The building's architectural charm is highlighted by its red-brick façade, limestone base, and distinctive pre-war details such as herringbone hardwood floors and beamed ceilings.

Apartments within the building typically feature spacious layouts with high ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and oversized windows that offer abundant natural light. Many units have been thoughtfully renovated to blend modern conveniences with classic design elements. Notable features include chef's kitchens equipped with high-end appliances, generous closet space, and elegant bathrooms. The building's unique character and prime location make it a desirable choice for those seeking a quintessential New York City living experience.

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.
