Overview of 168 East 74th Street

Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, 168 East 74th Street is a boutique full-service co-op building that was completed in 1926 and converted in 1953. This nine-story structure features 28 units, each accompanied by a storage bin. The building offers a range of amenities including a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, and bike room, making it a convenient choice for residents. Pets are permitted, allowing for one dog per apartment, and the building allows for 50% financing.

The apartments in this building showcase a blend of classic prewar charm and modern renovations. Many units feature high ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, and oversized windows that provide ample natural light. Notable layouts include spacious living rooms with decorative fireplaces, renovated kitchens equipped with top-of-the-line appliances such as Sub-Zero and Wolf, and generous bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms. The building's intimate setting, with only three residences per floor, enhances the sense of community.

Residents enjoy a prime location on a tranquil, tree-lined block, just steps away from the vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural offerings of the Upper East Side. Proximity to public transportation, including subway access on Lexington Avenue, adds to the building's appeal. The area is also home to several parks and schools, making it a desirable choice for families and professionals alike.

While the building has seen various renovations and updates, it maintains its historical character, making it a unique option for those seeking a classic New York City living experience. The combination of modern amenities and traditional architecture makes 168 East 74th Street a noteworthy residence in one of Manhattan's most sought-after 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.
