131 East 69th Street is a boutique prewar co-op designed by architects W. I. Rouse and L. A. Goldstone in 1924. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side between Lexington and Park Avenues, the building offers white glove service with full time doormen and a resident manager. The building is known for its attentive staff and welcoming atmosphere, with pets permitted and a 30% financing allowance. A 2% flip tax is paid by the purchaser.
Apartments at 131 East 69th Street retain classic prewar details including wood burning fireplaces, original wood paneling, custom millwork, and high ceilings. Units range from three to five bedrooms, with configurations including full floor residences and duplexes. Common features across apartments include spacious entrance galleries, double living rooms, formal dining rooms, and eat in kitchens equipped with high end appliances such as Wolf ranges, Miele dishwashers, and Sub-Zero refrigerators. Many units offer multiple exposures with open views over neighboring townhouses.
The building's larger apartments showcase particularly grand proportions, with some living rooms measuring 32 feet by 24 feet and galleries extending 17 to 30 feet. Full floor residences feature private elevator landings, multiple wood burning fireplaces (up to four per unit), wet bars, and staff rooms with ensuite bathrooms. Several units include primary bedroom suites with dressing rooms, offices, and corner bathrooms, plus additional bedrooms with ensuite or shared baths. Through wall air conditioning and in-unit laundry facilities are standard.
Several apartments have undergone extensive renovations, with at least one taken down to the studs by architect Patrick Carmody, who incorporated modern amenities while preserving prewar character. Renovated units feature details such as herringbone hardwood floors, white marble bathrooms and kitchens, custom cabinetry, built in closets and armoires, and integrated sound systems. Upgrades have included new electrical and plumbing systems, replaced windows, and central air conditioning.
Building amenities include a beautifully landscaped roof terrace accessible to all shareholders, private storage bins that transfer with apartments, and dedicated storage for prams, bicycles, and firewood. The building's intimate scale and prime location provide easy access to Lexington Avenue's boutiques and cafes, Central Park, and both Midtown and Upper East Side destinations.

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.
