Overview of 141 East 72nd Street

141 East 72nd Street is a distinguished 16-story pre-war cooperative building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1924. The building features a striking brown-brick façade with a three-story limestone base and a broken pediment entrance. Each floor hosts a single apartment, ensuring privacy and exclusivity. Residents enjoy a well-appointed lobby with concierge services, and the building is surrounded by cultural institutions, high-end boutiques along Madison Avenue, and a variety of dining options on Lexington and Third Avenues. While the nearest subway station is a few blocks away, the area benefits from excellent bus service on this major cross-town street.

The apartments at 141 East 72nd Street are characterized by their spacious layouts and luxurious finishes. Many units feature private elevator landings that lead into grand galleries, expansive living rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, and formal dining rooms. The kitchens are often equipped with high-end appliances, including Sub-Zero refrigerators and Wolf ranges, along with custom cabinetry and elegant finishes. Bedrooms typically come with en-suite bathrooms, and the master suites often include additional amenities such as home offices or dressing rooms, enhancing the overall living experience.

Notable residents of the building include former New York Governor Thomas Dewey, adding to its historical significance. The building is pet-friendly and offers amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, private storage, and a recently renovated fitness facility. Maintenance fees have seen temporary increases due to ongoing capital projects, but they are expected to return to previous levels in the near future. Overall, 141 East 72nd Street presents a unique blend of classic elegance and modern convenience, making it a sought-after residence in one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
