Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-maintained" pre-war gem at Madison and 96th offers "modernized layouts" with "contemporary touches" in a prime Upper East Side location. The "pillared lobby" adds classic charm, while the "efficient" security system compensates for the absence of a doorman. "Convenient" to crosstown transit and the subway, with "local dining options" steps away. Most units feature "spacious two-bedrooms" with "enlarged living rooms," though maintenance philosophy remains "traditional."

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.
