Overview of 820 Park Avenue

820 Park Avenue is a distinctive 14-story co-op building located at the northwest corner of 75th Street, originally designed by architect Harry Allan Jacobs in 1926. Initially intended to house nine apartments, including five duplexes and a triplex for developer Albert J. Kobler, the building was converted to a cooperative in 1957 and now features 21 residences. Its architectural style combines a brown-brick shaft with an asymmetrical design and a striking two-and-a-half story base of variegated sandstone, although the overall aesthetic has been described as somewhat disjointed. The building is equipped with a full-time doorman, elevator operator, and offers storage facilities, while also being pet-friendly.

The apartments at 820 Park Avenue are characterized by their spacious layouts and pre-war detailing. The original triplex penthouse, once occupied by Kobler, featured a grand entrance hall, a library, and a two-story drawing room adorned with leaded glass windows and a remarkable 16th-century carved stone fireplace. Typical units include expansive living spaces, with many apartments offering multiple bedrooms, fireplaces, and luxurious bathrooms. Notable features across various listings include high ceilings, large windows providing ample natural light, and modern amenities such as state-of-the-art kitchens equipped with high-end appliances like Sub-Zero refrigerators.

Historically, the building has attracted prominent residents, including former New York Governor Herbert H. Lehman. The location is highly desirable, situated near art galleries, boutiques, and cultural institutions, with convenient access to public transportation. The building's unique history and architectural significance, combined with its luxurious living spaces, make it a noteworthy residence in Manhattan's Upper East Side.

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.
