840 Park Avenue is a 1912 pre-war cooperative designed by George and Edward Blum at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and East 76th Street. Converted to cooperative ownership in 1953, the 13 story building contains 53 apartments. Its light limestone exterior has a three story rusticated base, symmetrically placed wrought iron balconies, an arched canopied entrance, and terracotta pilasters framing the upper floors.
Many apartments retain formal galleries, ceilings approaching 10 feet, original moldings, wood burning fireplaces, and floor-to-ceiling French windows opening to Juliette balconies. Classic plans separate bedroom wings from the principal entertaining rooms, while larger duplex layouts place galleries and reception rooms on the lower level with bedrooms above. Multiple exposures, Park Avenue views, staff rooms, and private or shared landings also recur.
Building service includes concierge coverage, a 24 hour doorman, porters, and a resident manager, along with private storage. The cooperative permits pets and pied-à-terre ownership, and its current policies allow 50% financing.

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.
