Overview of The Gramont at 215 West 98th Street

The Gramont is a 12-story co-op built in 1910 and designed by George and Edward Blum. Located on a quiet, tree lined block at 215 West 98th Street, the beige brick building features a rusticated limestone base and a striking arched stained glass entrance pavilion. The marble lobby impresses with its coffered ceiling, dramatic archways, and grand staircase. The building houses 95 units and was converted to cooperative ownership in 1987. A sister building, The Gramont Annex, is located at 207 West 98th Street. Residents enjoy full time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, bike storage, and laundry facilities, and the building welcomes pets.

Apartments at The Gramont are characterized by generous prewar details and proportions. Most units feature 10 foot ceilings, windowed kitchens, decorative fireplaces, and hardwood floors. A signature element found in many apartments is the 26 foot entrance gallery, which provides a grand sense of arrival. Classic 7 layouts are common, typically including formal living and dining rooms separated by French doors, along with crown moldings, wainscoting, and herringbone floors. Many apartments have been renovated with modern kitchens featuring high end appliances from Viking, Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele, while preserving original architectural details. Several units include in-unit washer/dryers, and high floor corner apartments offer southern and western skyline views. The building permits 80% financing with a 1.8% flip tax payable by the buyer.

The location offers exceptional convenience, situated between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue and just two blocks from the 1/2/3 express subway at 96th Street, with B and C trains also nearby. Residents have easy access to both Central Park and Riverside Park, as well as Whole Foods, West Side Market, and numerous neighborhood restaurants and shops.

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.
