Built in 1923 by renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter, 580 Park Avenue stands as one of only three buildings on Park Avenue that occupy an entire blockfront, stretching between 63rd and 64th Streets. Designed in the Italian Renaissance style, this 14 story white glove co-op features a striking four story limestone base with an elegant entrance flanked by fluted pilasters. The building originally contained 53 apartments but now houses 60 units, making it a distinctive narrow slab among Carpenter's extensive portfolio of luxury Manhattan buildings.
The apartments at 580 Park are notably spacious, with most units containing 8 or 9 rooms. A signature feature of Carpenter's design is the circular galleries that anchor many apartments, including those with impressive 14 foot dimensions. Common apartment features include wood burning fireplaces, herringbone floors, 9.5 foot ceilings, and generous closet space with multiple walk-ins. The larger units often feature formal dining rooms, eat in kitchens with high end appliances like Sub-Zero refrigerators and Viking ranges, and staff quarters that have been converted into home offices or additional bedrooms. Several apartments boast private terraces, particularly the penthouse level units.
Residents enjoy comprehensive white glove service including a 24 hour doorman, elevator attendants, and a live-in resident manager. The building features a marble lobby with coffered ceilings inspired by Italian Renaissance palazzos, and each apartment comes with private storage in the basement. The co-op permits pets, pied-à-terre ownership, and financing up to 50% of the purchase price, though buyers are responsible for a 3% flip tax.
The building's most notable former resident was Edward R. Murrow, the legendary journalist who maintained an apartment on the 10th floor. According to historical records, the original building included separate laundry and storage rooms in the basement for each apartment, plus thirty additional servants' rooms in the penthouse level, reflecting the grand scale of early 20th century luxury living on Park Avenue.

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.
