Overview of 175 East 79th Street

175 East 79th Street is a 15 story, 62 apartment Carnegie Hill co-op designed by Schwartz & Gross and completed in 1928. The red brick, mid-block building has a canopied entrance framed in limestone, with wrought iron doors.

Many apartments retain proper entry foyers, roughly 9.5 foot beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, casement windows and fireplaces, including both decorative and wood burning examples. The larger classic six plans use formal dining rooms and separate bedroom wings, and several preserve former staff rooms. The maisonette is organized differently, with a private street entrance and an open living area, while many renovated homes have in-unit laundry.

The building has a 24 hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a laundry room, resident storage and bicycle storage. It is pet friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership; sublets are allowed with board approval.

The building is between Lexington and Third Avenues on the Upper East Side. Central Park and Museum Mile are four avenues west, while the 77th Street station for the 6 train is two blocks south on Lexington Avenue.

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.
