Overview of Lenox House at 301 East 78th Street

Lenox House, located at 301 East 78th Street, is a 17-story co-op building designed by Schuman & Lichtenstein and constructed in 1963. Converted to a co-op in 1980, it features 124 apartments. The building is known for its beige-brick façade with a polished red-granite base, turreted bay windows on the top floors, and an enclosed rooftop watertank. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, and a range of amenities including a gym and bicycle room.

Apartments in Lenox House vary from one to four bedrooms, with some units offering unique features such as bay windows, balconies, and terraces. Notable units include Apartment 17BC, a three-bedroom with a spacious living room and dining area, and Apartment 16C, a two-bedroom with a private terrace and a recently completed high-end renovation. Many apartments are bathed in natural light due to their south and west exposures, offering open city views.

The building is ideally situated in the Upper East Side, providing easy access to the Q and 6 subway lines, as well as numerous bus routes. The neighborhood is rich with dining options, boutique shopping, and cultural institutions. Residents also benefit from proximity to Central Park and other local parks like Carl Schurz and John Jay Park.

Lenox House is a pet-friendly building that allows pied-à-terre ownership and offers up to 75% financing. The building maintains low maintenance costs due to its ownership of retail spaces on Second Avenue. With its strong financials and recent updates to the lobby and elevators, Lenox House remains a desirable residence in a prime location.

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.
