151 East 37th Street is a five story, six unit co op townhouse built in 1860 by President Martin Van Buren for his daughter. The building is in the Murray Hill Historic District, where its brownstone scale and pre war character remain central to its identity.
The apartments include layouts that are unusual for a compact townhouse, particularly duplexes with living spaces on one level and bedrooms above. Private gardens, terraces, and roof rights appear among the residences, while fireplaces, hardwood floors, crown moldings, high ceilings, and skylights recur in the pre war interiors. North and south exposures bring both Midtown light and views toward historic townhouses and planted gardens.
The building is positioned between Murray Hill and Midtown, near Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, the Morgan Library, and the Theater District. The 42nd Street Grand Central station serves the 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains, with shopping, restaurants, and cultural institutions extending west toward Bryant Park and the theaters.
A roof deck is among the building amenities, and pets are allowed. The combination of townhouse proportions, historic detailing, and multi level apartment layouts gives the six unit co op a distinctly residential character in a largely commercial part of Midtown.

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.
