Description

Originally built in 1912 by renowned architects George and Edward Blum, 875 Park Avenue is a distinguished white-glove cooperative known for its elegant architecture, including a strikingly graceful entrance and a grand lobby.

Inside, the classic prewar layout is both flexible and beautifully designed, enhanced by high ceilings, large windows, and rich hardwood floors throughout. Historic details are seamlessly blended with modern comforts, including central air conditioning.
