Classic 1925 prewar co-op with 24 residences featuring wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, and original details throughout. Prime Upper East Side location near Central Park with flexible ownership policies and convenient neighborhood amenities.
222 East 71st Street is a 24 unit prewar co-op built in 1925 by architects Treanor and Fatio. The landmark building sits on a tree lined block in the heart of the Upper East Side, offering residents a live-in superintendent who collects packages, an attractive lobby, individual storage bins, and laundry facilities. The building permits pets and pied-à-terre ownership, allows up to 65% financing, and charges a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
Apartments throughout the building showcase classic prewar details including wood burning fireplaces (featured in nearly every unit), high ceilings, original hardwood floors, decorative moldings, and built-in bookshelves. Most units have windowed kitchens and bathrooms, with many apartments offering south facing exposures and views of the tree lined street. The building includes several distinctive layouts, from maisonette style units to a dramatic duplex with 18 foot ceilings, a skylight, and a private terrace, as well as a sprawling four bedroom with two fireplaces and separate bedroom wings.
The location provides convenient access to Central Park, the 6 and Q subway lines, and neighborhood amenities including Whole Foods Market two blocks away, along with Citarella, Grace's Market, and Morton Williams. The combination of prewar charm, flexible layouts, and prime Upper East Side positioning has made these apartments appealing to buyers seeking classic New York living with modern conveniences like washer/dryers (permitted with board approval).

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.
