Overview of 142 East 71st Street

142 East 71st Street is an 11-story, red-brick co-op building constructed in 1927 by architect George Frederick Pelham. Converted to a cooperative in 1979, it features approximately 40 apartments and is situated in a desirable section of the Upper East Side, known for its elegant streets and proximity to various restaurants, shops, and cultural venues. The building boasts a canopied entrance with a doorman, arched windows on the first floor, and a roof deck, although it lacks a garage and health club facilities.

Residents enjoy a range of amenities including a 24-hour doorman, private storage, a bike room, and a central laundry facility. The building is pet-friendly and allows for 50% financing with board approval. Notably, the apartments feature high ceilings, oversized windows, and some units include wood-burning fireplaces, providing a blend of classic charm and modern convenience.

Among the standout listings, the penthouse offers a private landing, solarium, and a wraparound terrace with stunning city views, while other apartments showcase spacious layouts with generous living and dining areas. The building's location provides easy access to public transportation, including subway stations and cross-town bus services, enhancing its appeal for urban living.

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.
