Overview of 60 East 79th Street

60 East 79th Street is a charming beige-painted brownstone townhouse built in 1920, featuring a total of 10 apartments across six stories. The building showcases architectural details such as arched windows on the second floor, tall ceilings, and fireplaces, while its landscaped sidewalk enhances the overall aesthetic. Located in the desirable Upper East Side, it is conveniently situated near Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a variety of boutiques and art galleries along Madison Avenue.

This co-op building does not offer amenities such as a doorman, garage, or health club, but it benefits from excellent public transportation options, including cross-town bus service and nearby subway access at Lexington Avenue and 77th Street. The building's proximity to notable landmarks and cultural institutions makes it an attractive option for residents.

Common features among the apartments include high ceilings, oversized windows, and elegant hardwood flooring. Many units have been renovated to include modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and updated bathrooms. Noteworthy apartments, such as duplexes and loft-like studios, often boast unique layouts, ample storage, and outdoor spaces, making them ideal for both living and entertaining.

While the building has seen its share of notable residents, it maintains a quiet and exclusive atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a refined urban lifestyle. The self-managed co-op allows for subletting with board approval, adding to its appeal for potential buyers and renters alike.

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.
