Overview of 164 East 72nd Street

164 East 72nd Street is a 15 story, 44 unit pre-war co-op built in 1926, with a red brick façade, a two story limestone base, and additional limestone detailing. The penthouse wraps around more than 1,250 square feet of planted terraces and incorporates several glass roof greenhouses along the perimeter. The building generally has three apartments per floor.

Classic six room layouts recur, and larger residences often retain formal dining rooms, libraries, staff rooms, high ceilings, original millwork, and hardwood floors. Wood burning fireplaces are a recurring feature, while high floor apartments have open city exposures. A ten room duplex spans the ninth and tenth floors, placing its principal entertaining rooms below the bedroom level.

Service includes a 24 hour doorman, concierge, and live-in superintendent. The building also has a fitness center, rooftop terrace, landscaped courtyard, resident storage, bike room, and central laundry room. Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted.

The mid-block Lenox Hill address is between Lexington and Third avenues. Restaurants and neighborhood retail line both avenues, while Madison Avenue’s boutiques and galleries are farther west.

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.
