Overview of 20 East 74th Street

20 East 74th Street is a 17-story post-war cooperative built in 1947, situated on the Upper East Side between Madison and Fifth Avenue, just one block from Central Park. The orange-brick building features a distinctive balcony design, with most units having partially recessed balconies that are angled and shared between two apartments with small partitions. The building's façade is enhanced by a one-story marble base and topped with an enclosed watertank.

The full-service building offers 24-hour doorman service, a concierge, and a live-in superintendent. Amenities include a windowed gym on the first floor, bike storage, and private storage (when available). The cooperative is known for its relatively low maintenance costs, which are offset by income from commercial spaces.

Located in one of New York's most prestigious neighborhoods, the building permits pied-a-terres, gifting, and trust ownership, with financing allowed up to 50%. One dog per apartment is permitted, and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. The building's location provides easy access to Madison Avenue's high-end boutiques, art galleries, cultural institutions and Central Park.

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.
