Intimate 8-unit limestone co-op on a landmarked Upper East Side block between Fifth and Madison, steps from Central Park and the Met. Classic prewar elegance with recent capital improvements, featuring a dramatic duplex penthouse and pet-friendly, pied-Ă -terre-friendly policies.
16 East 80th Street is a boutique eight unit co-op housed in a 25 foot wide limestone mansion built around 1925. Located on a quiet, tree lined block between Fifth and Madison Avenues, the landmarked prewar building sits within the Metropolitan Museum of Art Historic District, steps from Central Park and the Met. The building has undergone significant recent capital improvements, including a new elevator installed in 2021, a $600,000 roof replacement in 2023, and refreshed common areas.
The building's apartments feature classic prewar details including high ceilings ranging from 10'9" to 12 feet, hardwood floors, crown molding, and custom millwork. The standout residence is a duplex penthouse spanning the top two floors, notable for its wood paneled living and dining room, dramatic 20 foot center staircase, and flexible layout with up to three bedrooms and four marble bathrooms. The lower level of this duplex includes a separate entrance and can be configured as a grand primary suite. Other units in the building range from studios to one bedrooms, some with private terraces or loft like proportions with exposed brick.
Amenities include an elevator, laundry facilities, private storage, and a superintendent. The building permits pied-Ă -terre ownership and is pet friendly, with washer/dryer installation allowed on a case by case basis with board approval. The location provides immediate access to Museum Mile, Madison Avenue shopping, and notable hotels including The Mark and The Carlyle, with convenient subway access via the 4, 5, 6 express lines and the Q train at 83rd Street and Second Avenue.

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.
