Overview of 136 West 70th Street

136 West 70th Street is a charming pre-war brownstone located in the desirable Lincoln Square neighborhood of the Upper West Side. Built around 1883 and converted to a co-op in 1984, the building features a total of 10 apartments, each reflecting the historic architecture of the area. The apartments boast high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and unique architectural details such as replica copper tin ceilings and marble window sills. The building's prime location is just a block and a half from Central Park, with easy access to public transportation and nearby amenities including Trader Joe's, Fairway, and a variety of restaurants and cafes.

The apartments vary in layout and size, with notable features including wood-burning fireplaces, modern kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms. Some units, like the triplex penthouse, offer expansive entertaining spaces and private outdoor areas, including a stunning rooftop garden designed by a noted landscape architect. Many apartments also include built-in storage solutions and modern conveniences such as in-unit laundry and air conditioning systems.

The building has a pet-friendly policy on a case-by-case basis and allows for pied-à-terre arrangements, although it does not permit subletting or investors. Notably, the garden level triplex was formerly home to Kathy Lee Gifford, adding a touch of celebrity history to this charming residence. Overall, 136 West 70th Street presents a unique blend of historic charm and modern living in one of New York City's most sought-after neighborhoods.

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.
