Built in 1928, 7 East 85th Street is a 10-story beige brick co-op with 40 apartments located on Museum Mile, approximately 250 feet from Central Park. The boutique building features a canopied entrance with a four step down vestibule, fine wrought-iron doors, and a limestone cartouche bearing the letters "G" and "W." While the building has no doorman, it offers a live-in superintendent who accepts packages, along with a laundry room, bike storage, private storage, and a landscaped interior courtyard. A parking garage is located next door, and the building is pet friendly with policies considered on a case by case basis.
Apartments throughout the building showcase classic prewar details, most notably 9 foot beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and wood burning fireplaces that appear in nearly every unit. Windowed kitchens and bathrooms are standard, with many units featuring high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Gaggenau, and Miele. South facing exposures are common, and apartments typically offer abundant closet space, custom built-ins, and mahogany cabinetry. The building's intimate scale means most floors have only two to three apartments sharing a semi-private vestibule, contributing to a quiet, residential atmosphere.
The location offers exceptional convenience, with the Metropolitan Museum of Art directly across the street and gourmet markets including Dean & Deluca, Fairway, Butterfield Market, and Morton Williams all within a few blocks. Transportation options are plentiful, with the 4/5/6 subway lines at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue, plus crosstown buses on 84th and 86th Streets and the M1/M2/M3/M4 bus lines along Fifth Avenue. The building permits 75% financing and considers pied-à-terre purchases, co-purchasing, and gifting on a case by case basis, though in-unit washer/dryers are not allowed.

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.
