136 East 64th Street is an 11 story beige brick cooperative built in 1928 and designed by George F. Pelham, who also designed the Plaza Athénée Hotel. Located on a tree lined block in Lenox Hill between Lexington and Park Avenue, the building was converted to a cooperative in 1984 and contains 64 large apartments. The building features a painted limestone base, canopied entrance, and an exceptionally grand lobby that stands out among Upper East Side buildings. Claudette Colbert, the Academy Award-winning actress known for "Cleopatra," was among the building's notable residents.
The full service building offers 24 hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, and white glove amenities including mail and package delivery directly to apartment doors. Each unit comes with private storage in the basement, and the building welcomes pets while permitting pied-à-terre ownership on a case-by-case basis. Financing up to 65% is allowed, with a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.
Apartments typically feature classic prewar layouts including Classic 6 and Classic 7 configurations, with 9+ foot beamed ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, and wood-burning fireplaces. The building includes a notable penthouse with wrap terrace and a palatial 13-into-11 room residence that was completely renovated by AD Top 100 interior designer Tony Ingrao.
The prime Upper East Side location provides easy access to Central Park, Fifth and Madison Avenue shopping, and major subway lines. The building sits within the Upper East Side Historic District, surrounded by landmarked townhouses and in close proximity to Bloomingdale's, fine dining, and cultural institutions.

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.
