215 East 72nd Street is a distinguished prewar cooperative built in 1929, featuring just 30 apartments spread across 16 stories. The building's limestone base, decorative pilasters, and balustraded roofline reflect classic prewar architecture, while its position flanked by low rise buildings provides exceptional light and air compared to typical mid-block locations. The intimate scale and full service white glove amenities include a full time doorman, live-in superintendent, porters, and private storage for residents.
The building's apartments feature generous prewar proportions with some having 29 foot entrance galleries that create dramatic arrivals and elegant flow between rooms. Common architectural details include 9.5 foot beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, wood burning fireplaces, and crown molding. Many units offer multiple exposures with northern, southern, and western light, and several apartments provide glimpses or views of Central Park down 72nd Street. Some residences have been meticulously renovated while preserving original prewar character, often incorporating staff rooms that have been converted into expanded kitchens, libraries, or home offices.
The building permits both pets and pied-à-terres, allows up to 50% financing, and charges a 2% flip tax to purchasers. Residents enjoy access to a recently renovated private courtyard with basketball half court and secure play space, rare amenities for a prewar building. The prime Upper East Side location offers proximity to Madison Avenue boutiques, cultural institutions, and diverse dining options along Lexington and Third Avenues, with convenient bus service on t72nd Street and only a few blocks to the nearest subway station.

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.
