875 Park Ave

875 Park Avenue is a 13-story, full-service prewar cooperative completed in 1912 by architects George and Edward Blum. The beige-brick building with a two-story limestone base contains roughly 43–50 residences in a traditional Park Avenue apartment-house configuration. Units range from two- to six-bedroom layouts (including expansive multi-room homes and converted floor-through apartments) that preserve original prewar details: high ceilings, wide galleries, decorative fireplaces, crown moldings, plaster ornament, and hardwood floors with inlaid borders. Many apartments open from semi-private elevator landings into formal entrance galleries and feature separate entertaining wings, wood-paneled libraries, butler’s pantries and service or staff rooms. Common spaces include a chic marble or decorated lobby, a renovated state-of-the-art fitness room, bicycle room, laundry facilities, cold storage and individual storage cages in the basement. Full-time staff consists of a 24-hour doorman/concierge and a live-in superintendent; the building maintains white-glove standards and allows pets and pieds-à-terre. Typical mechanicals and conveniences found in units include through-wall HVAC and in some residences multi-zone central air, washers/dryers or deeded laundry rooms, and modernized chef’s kitchens. Located on Park Avenue between 77th and 78th Streets, the building sits two blocks from Central Park and within easy walking distance of Upper East Side schools, restaurants, shops and subway access. Financial policies historically permit up to 50% financing and apply a 2% flip/transfer fee.
