A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Park House would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Park House is one of the most elegant Beaux-Arts apartment houses in Midtown — a 1911 limestone building designed by Walter B. Chambers of Flagg & Chambers, the partnership credited with a body of major early-twentieth-century civic and residential work. The building won an American Institute of Architects award in 1912 in the "Over Six Stories" category, and it has operated as a cooperative for its residents rather than as a trophy sales product.
The architecture is the story. The limestone facade carries two tiers of balconies — the first at the second floor, the last at the top — a central Juliet balcony at the eighth floor, a rusticated two-story base, and wrought-iron railings with Greek-key motifs. Originally the building held one grand apartment per floor; over time these were divided into the 34 residences that trade today, many of which retain wood-burning fireplaces. A later penthouse addition brought the building's celebrated 16-foot slanted skylight.
The location is prime Midtown: a mid-block position between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, around the corner from Central Park and Carnegie Hall, a block and a half from the subway, and steps from the 57th Street corridor.
Architecture and unit composition
The 34 apartments occupy a building that began as one full-floor residence per level — originally six bedrooms, four baths, a library, and a large drawing and dining room per floor — later subdivided into the current mix of studios through larger layouts. Many apartments retain wood-burning fireplaces and pre-war proportions.
The crown of the building is the triplex penthouse: a lower level with a 14-foot-wide entry foyer opening past a pass-through kitchen to a 40-foot great room beneath the octagonal skylight, flanked by 25-foot planted decks, with bedrooms on the two levels above. Renovation quality varies unit to unit and, with floor and exposure, drives much of the pricing spread within this small building.
Building operations
Park House is an intimate pre-war cooperative with a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a bicycle room. There is no gym and no garage — typical for a 34-unit pre-war building of this vintage — and the amenity profile is deliberately modest, consistent with a residents' building rather than an amenity-driven tower. It is pet-friendly.
As a cooperative, purchases require board approval and are subject to the building's financing and sublet policies. Given the building's age, buyers should pay attention to the envelope, the skylight, mechanical systems, the reserve position, and any assessment history, and confirm the maintenance schedule, flip tax, and maximum financing during due diligence.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the engineer identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
As a cooperative, Park House is read on a price-per-room basis; many apartments trade without a reliable published square footage, and per-room and per-estimated-room pricing is the more consistent comparison. Because it is a small pre-war building, comparable sales are infrequent and heterogeneous — a studio and the triplex penthouse are entirely different products — and pricing is best read at the apartment level.
Recent closings have clustered from the mid-hundreds of thousands for smaller layouts up into seven figures for larger and fireplace-equipped apartments, with the penthouse in its own category. Renovation condition, fireplace, floor, and exposure are the dominant variables. Specific recent figures should be confirmed against current recorded transfers at offer stage.

Market read. $/sf is measured on the latest sales with reliable square footage (2024): a median $810/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. The building has traded as recently as 2025. Median listing discount 3.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

What to know if you’re buying
You're buying architecture. An award-winning 1911 Chambers Beaux-Arts building with fireplaces and pre-war proportions is durable value. Confirm what a given line retains — fireplace, ceiling height, exposures.
It's a small pre-war co-op — inspect the base building. With 34 units and a 1911 structure plus a later penthouse and skylight, the envelope, skylight, and mechanicals matter. Review the reserve position and any assessment history.
Understand the co-op economics. Confirm the maximum financing permitted, the flip tax and who pays it, the maintenance schedule, and any assessments. Model the full carry before you offer.
Board approval applies. As a cooperative, purchases require board approval. Prepare a complete, well-documented board package.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the Beaux-Arts pedigree and the fireplaces. The Chambers architecture, the AIA award, the wood-burning fireplaces, and the Carnegie Hall / Central Park setting are the differentiators.
The penthouse is its own market. The skylit triplex should be marketed entirely distinctly from the divided lower-floor apartments.
Price per room against the right comps. In a 34-unit building, comparable analysis must weight fireplace, floor, exposure, and condition at the apartment level.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
