891 Park Avenue is a 1931 Art Deco cooperative with part-time doorman and live-in superintendent. Located in prime Upper East Side near Central Park, it offers private storage and allows pets and pied-a-terres.
891 Park Avenue is an intimate Art Deco co-op built in 1931 by architect Arthur Paul Hess. The 15 story building contains just 15 residences, each occupying an entire floor with its own private elevator landing. This rare configuration provides exceptional privacy and a boutique living experience. The brick façade features a three story limestone base, and the building is located at 78th Street in the heart of Lenox Hill, one to two blocks from Central Park and Museum Mile.
Apartments typically feature approximately 1,725 square feet with two bedrooms (some convertible to three), each with en suite bathrooms. Common prewar details include wood burning fireplaces, high beamed ceilings reaching 9'3", and oak herringbone floors. The living and dining rooms face west over Park Avenue through three oversized windows. Notably, several apartments feature fireplace mantels salvaged from the legendary Plaza Hotel. Most units include a den or office space, in-unit washer/dryer, and a private storage unit in the basement that transfers with the sale.
Kitchens have been renovated with high end appliances including Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele, and Bosch, along with custom cabinetry and stone countertops. Bathrooms feature marble finishes, soaking tubs, separate showers, and fixtures from brands like Duravit. Many apartments have undergone complete modern renovations while preserving original architectural details.
The building offers a live-in superintendent and doorman service 24 hours on weekends and 7AM to 11PM on weekdays. Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted, and the building allows up to 50% financing and co-purchasing. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the buyer. Real estate taxes are billed separately on a semi-annual basis at approximately $10,432 to $11,235 per payment in June and December.

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.
