Building: 823 Park Avenue

This exquisite luxury residential building at 823 Park Avenue was built in 1912 and designed by the firm Pickering and Walker and underwent an extensive renovation in approximately 2006 when it was transformed into a pre-war Park Avenue condominium. The building is intimate with only 10 Full floor 4100 square feet homes, a duplex Penthouse and masionette, all with their own landing. Each home has two fireplaces, one in the library the other in the living room which combined comprise 45 feet looking West over Park Avenue. All have high ceilings, eat-in-kitchens and excellent finishes. The exterior of the building is beige limestone, and is designed in classic Greek Revival style as is the renovated lobby. Each window is bordered by sculpted accents that are typical of the style and period. The many windows ensure that each unit has a stunning view of this historic area of the city. To complete the transformation a fitness room and additional storage was included.

Located on Park Avenue between 75th and 76th Streets, this building is strategically well located to the 77th Street Subway, cross-town bus and close to shopping and dining that is among the best of Manhattan. It is one block away from the world famous Whitney Museum of American Art, as well as the other famous landmarks of the Museum Mile.
