Overview of 117 East 72nd Street

117 East 72nd Street is a distinguished pre-war cooperative building constructed in 1928, featuring a classic limestone and brick façade. The building comprises 259 apartments across 15 stories, with a three-story limestone base and a canopied entrance adorned with a broken pediment. Residents benefit from a full-time doorman and attentive service staff, ensuring a refined living experience in the heart of the Upper East Side.

Located just off Park Avenue, the building offers convenient access to cultural institutions, upscale boutiques along Madison Avenue, and a variety of dining options. While the nearest subway station is a few blocks away, the area is well-served by bus routes, enhancing accessibility. The building does not include a garage, but its prime location compensates for this.

Common apartment features include spacious layouts with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and classic pre-war details. Many units, such as the maisonettes, offer private entrances and flexible configurations, making them suitable for both residential and professional uses. Notable amenities include generous room sizes, ample storage, and modern kitchens equipped with high-end appliances like Sub-Zero and Wolf.

Residents of 117 East 72nd Street enjoy a pet-friendly policy, although financing is not permitted, and a 2% flip tax applies to sales. The building's reputation for quality and service makes it a sought-after address for those looking to experience the charm of Upper East Side living.

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.
