Overview of The Mayfair at 207 East 74th Street

The Mayfair is a 12 story, 134 unit co-op built in 1963 and converted in 1983, located at 207 East 74th Street between Second and Third Avenues. The mid block building features a white brick façade with gray brick banding, a gray granite marquee, and a canopy entrance with sidewalk landscaping. Architect Robert Kahn designed some of the apartment layouts. The lobby and hallways were recently renovated, giving the building a refreshed, sophisticated appearance while maintaining its postwar character.

The building offers full-service amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and a residents only garage with EV charging (waitlist). Each floor has two washer-dryers maintained by the building, and there is bike storage and additional storage available for a fee. The building does not have a health club, and most units feature protruding air conditioners, though many apartments have been upgraded with central HVAC systems. The Mayfair is known for strong financials and reasonable maintenance fees.

Apartments range from junior one bedrooms to expansive five bedroom homes, with many featuring split bedroom layouts for privacy. Common features include hardwood or parquet flooring, custom millwork with crown molding, large walk in closets, and oversized windows with custom treatments. Renovated kitchens typically include high end appliances such as Viking, Sub-Zero, Miele, and Liebherr, along with granite or Quartzite countertops. Penthouse units offer private terraces, with one notable corner penthouse featuring two terraces totaling over 340 square feet and unobstructed north and east views. Units commonly have south and north exposures providing excellent light and cross ventilation.

The location is exceptionally convenient, just two blocks from the Q train on Second Avenue and three to four blocks from the 4/5/6 trains at Lexington Avenue and 77th Street, with crosstown bus service on 72nd Street. The building is four blocks from Central Park and surrounded by neighborhood favorites including JG Melon, Mezzaluna, Citarella, and Breads Bakery, with an Equinox half a block away. The co-op permits pied-à-terre ownership, allows up to 65% financing, welcomes pets on a case by case basis, and permits gifting, guarantors, and co-purchasing. Subletting is generally not allowed except for financial hardship or work relocation.

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.
