Overview of 9 East 96th Street

9 East 96th Street, known as The Pierpont, is a charming cooperative building located in the desirable Carnegie Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. Built in 1926, this 16-story structure features 45 apartments and offers a blend of prewar elegance and modern convenience. The building's beige-brick façade is complemented by decorative balconies, arched windows, and a canopied entrance with a doorman available from 7 AM to midnight. Residents enjoy proximity to Central Park, top private schools, and cultural institutions, making it an ideal location for families and professionals alike.

The apartments at 9 East 96th Street showcase a variety of layouts, including Classic Six units and full-floor penthouses. Many residences feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light, with some offering stunning views of Central Park. Notable amenities include a live-in superintendent, bicycle storage, and central laundry facilities. Certain units also allow for in-unit washer/dryer installations with board approval, enhancing the convenience of urban living.

Noteworthy for its flexibility, some apartments are designed to accommodate a live/work lifestyle, making them suitable for professionals such as doctors or therapists. The building's dual-entry configurations allow for private access, ideal for those seeking a refined yet practical living space. Additionally, pets are permitted, further enhancing the appeal of this inviting community.

While the building has attracted various residents over the years, it remains a hidden gem in the bustling Upper East Side, offering a serene retreat just steps away from the vibrant energy of the city. With its rich history and modern amenities, 9 East 96th Street continues to be a sought-after address for those looking to experience the best of New York City living.

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.
