215 East 17th Street is a six unit co-op comprised of two joined 19th century townhouses (213 and 215) on a tree lined block in Gramercy, steps from Stuyvesant Square. The building is 100% owner occupied and self managed, with no underlying mortgage contributing to low maintenance fees that range from approximately $365 to $1,536 depending on the unit. The co-op is pet friendly and allows co purchasing and gifting on a case by case basis, though pied-à-terre use appears limited to individual board approval.
Apartments retain significant period details including original 1800s pine floors, high ceilings, arched windows, and exposed brick walls. Wood burning fireplaces appear in multiple units, and several apartments are configured as duplexes with custom built ins and renovated spaces. One notable duplex was designed by Rockwell Group, featuring Venetian polished walls, radiant heated floors, and a Japanese inspired bathroom with a soaking tub and dual rain shower heads. Apartment 3, a floor through unit, includes access to a double width garden designed by Dr. Barbara Paca, an art historian and landscape architect known for her work in the field.
Kitchens and bathrooms across the building have been updated with high end appliances and fixtures, including Miele dishwashers, U-Line refrigerators, and Duravit bathroom fittings. Several units include washer/dryer installations. The building's location provides easy access to Union Square, Gramercy Park, and major subway lines on 14th Street, with St. George's Church and Friends Seminary school on the same block. Director Marc Webb, known for "(500) Days of Summer" and "The Amazing Spider-Man," has lived in the building.

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.
