Overview of 242 East 19th Street

242 East 19th Street is a 15 story, 113 unit pre-war cooperative in Gramercy, built in 1926. Its brown brick exterior and stone base have Italian Renaissance styling, while Art Deco detailing defines the lobby and other common areas.

Many apartments retain large entry foyers, hardwood floors, wood burning fireplaces and beamed ceilings measuring about 9 to 9.5 feet. Windowed kitchens and bathrooms, separate dining areas and generous storage recur in the layouts. A handful of residences have floor-to-ceiling windows and Juliette balconies, while upper floors rise above neighboring low rise buildings for open skyline views.

The attended lobby has a 24 hour doorman, supported by a live-in building manager and additional staff. A landscaped rooftop terrace, ground level garden, central laundry room, bike room and rentable resident storage complete the shared amenities. Maintenance covers electricity and gas, and pets are permitted with board approval.

Stuyvesant Square is two blocks south, while Gramercy Park and Union Square are to the west. The 14th Street Union Square station serves the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R and W trains, and the Union Square Greenmarket is held nearby.

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.
