The structure is notable for its elegant façade, which includes a white-marble base and a wrought-iron balcony above the portico entrance.

A standout listing includes a two-bedroom plus library flat that occupies the entire second floor, featuring a grand entrance with a circular staircase and an elevator that opens directly into the foyer. This residence boasts a spacious living room with garden views, a gallery dining room with access to a terrace, and a library that could serve as a third bedroom.

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.
