Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "boutique" 1890s gem offers "old-world charm" in a "prime" Upper West Side location. The "intimate" 10-unit building boasts "period architectural details" and a "coveted" roof deck, while sitting "perfectly positioned" between Central and Riverside Parks. "Everything at your doorstep" with easy access to shopping and transportation, while the "engaged" resident community and board create a "true neighborhood feel."

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.
