Overview of 36 East 72nd Street

36 East 72nd Street is a 15-story cooperative building constructed in 1927, featuring only 17 apartments. The building showcases a light reddish-brown brick façade with a three-story limestone base, decorative spandrels, and a canopied entrance adorned with griffin bas-reliefs. Residents enjoy a full-service experience with a doorman and landscaped sidewalks, although the building lacks a garage and balconies. Its prime location offers easy access to Central Park, museums, boutiques, and restaurants, though it is not near a subway station.

Common features among the apartments include high ceilings, original herringbone hardwood floors, and wood-burning fireplaces. Many units boast spacious layouts with multiple bedrooms, elegant dining areas, and well-equipped kitchens, often renovated with high-end appliances such as Sub-Zero refrigerators and Wolf ovens. The building permits pied-à-terres, pets, and international buyers, with financing options available up to 50% and a 2% flip tax.

Notable amenities include a private outdoor play area and basketball court, as well as individual storage options for residents. The apartments are characterized by their classic pre-war charm, with many featuring luxurious en-suite bathrooms and ample closet space. The building's intimate setting and full-time staff contribute to a comfortable living experience in one of New York City's most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
