With only 26 apartments, it offers a boutique living experience on a charming tree-lined block between Park and Lexington Avenues. The building features a two-story limestone base, intricate masonry detailing, and a doorman, while allowing for protruding air-conditioners.

The building is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, adding to its prestige.

Many units feature high ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and original architectural details such as herringbone hardwood floors and intricate moldings.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
