The Lyons is a 12 story co-op built in 1920 at 135 West 79th Street, between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. Converted to cooperative in 1983, the brown brick building features a two story rusticated limestone base, rusticated quoins running its full height, and a recently restored marble lobby. The building contains 53 apartments and sits on one of the Upper West Side's most desirable tree lined blocks, with the eastern end facing Manhattan Square and the American Museum of Natural History.
Apartments at The Lyons typically feature 10 foot beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and windowed kitchens and bathrooms. Many units have been extensively renovated with high end finishes including Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf or Viking ranges, Grohe fixtures, and marble bathrooms with thermostatic controls. Several units showcase exposed brick walls and decorative fireplaces. Notable listings include designer Kelly Giesen's custom renovated units that were featured in the New York Times, as well as a four bedroom duplex with nearly 50 feet of living space. Corner units are particularly sought after for their open city views and additional windows.
Building amenities include a live-in super, two elevators, bike storage, and a laundry room with app connected machines. The co-op is pet friendly and permits pied-Ă -terre ownership, guarantors, co purchasing, and parents buying for children on a case by case basis. The location provides easy access to Central Park, excellent public transportation on the 1, B, and C lines, and proximity to neighborhood favorites including Zabar's, Citarella, Fairway, and the Sunday farmers market. The building permits protruding air conditioners but has no garage or health club.

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.
