Overview of 19 East 88th Street

19 East 88th Street, designed by William M. Dowling in 1936, is a distinguished 15-story Art Deco cooperative building containing 88 apartments in Carnegie Hill. The building was converted to a co-op in 1972 and features distinctive architectural elements including beige and brown brick banding, a canopied entrance flanked by tall lanterns, three-story limestone pilasters, and unique stainless steel balconies near the top.

The building's restored Art Deco lobby showcases Japanese-style metal window grills and sidewalk landscaping. Many apartments feature corner bay windows, and the building is characterized by generously proportioned rooms with pre-war details such as high beamed ceilings and hardwood floors with Art Deco marquetry.

Residents enjoy full-service amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, newly added fitness center, landscaped roof deck with panoramic views, bike room, central laundry, and private storage. The co-op permits washer/dryers and central air conditioning with board approval, allows 50% financing, and has a 2% flip tax for purchasers.

The location is prime Carnegie Hill, just steps from the Guggenheim Museum and Central Park's Reservoir. The building sits among other cultural institutions along Museum Mile, with easy access to Madison Avenue's shopping and dining, as well as convenient public transportation options.

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.
