Overview of 25 East 83rd Street

25 East 83rd Street is a 12 story, 54 apartment Carnegie Hill cooperative designed by Frederick Lee Ackerman and completed in 1938. It was the city’s first residential building with central air conditioning, using mechanically cooled condenser water and separate summer and winter thermostats in each apartment.

The beige brick building originally used glass blocks in its corner windows to diffuse light, reduce street noise, and limit solar heat; these were replaced with insulated windows during a 1986 renovation. Angled bays frame the East 83rd Street entrance, while a chamfered corner and notched Madison Avenue façade create additional corner exposures.

Many apartments have generous room proportions, flexible living and dining areas, windowed kitchens, substantial storage, and oversized windows. Multiple exposures are common, and upper floor west facing homes have views toward Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Board approved in-unit washer dryers are permitted, supplementing the building laundry room.

The building has a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, bicycle storage, renovated lobby, and landscaped roof deck overlooking Central Park and the Met. Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted, while electricity, heat, and central air conditioning are covered by maintenance. The address is at East 83rd Street and Madison Avenue, one block from Central Park and steps from the museum.

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.
