Overview of 135 East 74th Street

135 East 74th Street is a charming pre-war cooperative building located in the heart of the Upper East Side, between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. Built in 1925 and converted to a co-op in 1989, this 11-story building houses only 31 apartments, offering residents an intimate living experience. The building features a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, and central laundry facilities. Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted, and up to 75% financing is allowed.

The apartments at 135 East 74th Street are known for their classic pre-war elegance, featuring high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and wood-burning fireplaces.

Modern updates such as through-wall HVAC units and in-unit washer/dryers are seamlessly integrated with the building's historic charm.

Residents enjoy the convenience of being close to Central Park, world-class dining, cultural institutions, and premier shopping.

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.
