Broker & Buyer Comments

This "historic gem" overlooking Bryant Park boasts an "impeccably restored" Beaux Art design and a "majestic marble staircase" that would make Scarlett O'Hara swoon. Once home to luminaries like Thomas Edison and Mark Twain as the Engineers Club, this "landmark-worthy" building offers "spectacular park views" from north-facing units. The "well-maintained" prewar co-op features "attentive" full-time doormen, while the "prime location" puts multiple subway lines and "trendy restaurants" at your doorstep. Building amenities include a "newly updated" laundry room and convenient storage facilities, though "dog lovers should look elsewhere."

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.
