Overview of 50 West 70th Street

50 West 70th Street is a five story, four unit co op brownstone completed in 1910 and converted in 1986. Its most distinctive residential arrangement is a garden duplex, with the main living level opening to a south facing garden and a lower level that can function as additional recreational or bedroom space.

The building also contains a parlor floor residence, giving the property a mix of single level and split level layouts within its 23 foot wide townhouse structure. The garden duplex is organized around an open loft like living area and direct access to the rear garden, while the lower level has windows and a possible connection to the garden.

Original brownstone character is reflected in details associated with the interiors, including coffered ceilings, coffered wainscoting, dental moldings, plaster medallions, exposed brick, cellar archways, and arched cellar doors. Resident storage is among the building amenities, and the surrounding block has been associated with former residents Bernard Baruch, Marcus Goldman, and Samuel Sacks.

Located on West 70th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, the building is half a block from Central Park and five blocks from Lincoln Center. It sits among contiguous brownstone townhouses on a tree lined Upper West Side block, with the park and the cultural institutions around Lincoln Center defining the immediate setting.

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.
