Overview of 40 East 83rd Street

40 East 83rd Street is a distinguished brown-brick apartment building constructed in 1910 and converted to a co-op in 1958. This 11-story structure houses 56 apartments, mirroring its twin at 45 East 82nd Street, with a slight elevation difference due to the incline between the streets. The building features a doorman, four bandcourses, and a canopied entrance, although it lacks sidewalk landscaping, a health club, and a garage.

Located just one block from Central Park, the building is situated in a vibrant Upper East Side neighborhood, close to cultural institutions, private schools, and various dining options. Residents benefit from nearby express subway access and major retail stores at Lexington Avenue and 86th Street, making it a highly desirable location.

Residences at 40 East 83rd Street often showcase grand prewar layouts with modern renovations. Common features include high ceilings, oversized windows, and spacious living areas. Notable apartments, such as the Classic 6, offer luxurious finishes, top-of-the-line appliances, and ample storage, including custom closets and wine fridges. The building is pet-friendly and allows financing up to 50%, with a 2% flip tax applicable to buyers.

While the building has attracted various notable residents, specific celebrity names were not mentioned in the provided data. However, its prime location and elegant design continue to appeal to discerning buyers seeking a blend of classic charm and modern convenience.

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.
