Overview of 159 West 74th Street

159 West 74th Street is a four story pre war brownstone co op completed around 1910 and converted in 1972. The five unit, self managed building sits between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenue in the Upper West Side Historic District, where the block retains its historic brownstone character.

The building's most distinctive known layout is a loft like convertible three bedroom spanning approximately 1,700 square feet, with 10 foot ceilings and a large great room organized around a bay window and wood burning fireplace. The apartment also has direct flow between its living and dining areas and open kitchen, while the primary suite faces gardens and includes a second fireplace, a structural arrangement that gives the small building a notably spacious profile.

The address is two blocks south of Central Park, with Strawberry Fields, the Lake, Bow Bridge, and Bethesda Terrace among the park destinations nearby. Zabar's, Fairway, restaurants, shopping, and Lincoln Center are close at hand, and the Upper West Side location is served by the B, C, and 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, along with bus routes and CitiBike stations.

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.
