63 East 79th Street is a six story Georgian style townhouse completed in 1920 and divided into 10 cooperative apartments. Designed by Adams & Warren for Thatcher and Frances Adams, it has a pale red brick façade, a rusticated limestone base, a colonnaded limestone portico, and a wrought iron balcony above the entrance.
The mid block building retains a distinctly pre war interior vocabulary, with high ceilings, fireplaces, hardwood floors, and multi paned windows. Apartments commonly have generous room proportions, while dining foyers, corner rooms, south facing exposures, and partial garden views appear in the range of layouts. A maisonette is arranged over two levels with a private street entrance and garden, an atypical configuration for the building.
Building services include laundry and bike storage, and pets are considered under the building's policy. Subletting is permitted subject to cooperative rules. The small scale of the property gives its residences a townhouse character, while the building's six stories and central circulation support a variety of apartment sizes and configurations.
The address is between Madison and Park Avenues in Carnegie Hill, approximately one and a half blocks from Central Park and close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum Mile, the New York Society Library, Madison Avenue boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and Lenox Hill Hospital. The 79th Street crosstown bus serves the block, and the Lexington Avenue subway station at 77th Street is nearby.

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.
