Overview of 4 East 72nd Street

Built in 1929 and designed by renowned architect F. Burrell Hoffman, Jr., 4 East 72nd Street is a prestigious white-glove cooperative and one of the Upper East Side’s most distinguished addresses. This 15-story limestone building, converted to co-op ownership in 1947, features an exquisitely detailed façade with wrought-iron window grilles, arched double-height windows, Art Deco friezes, and a balustraded roofline.

With only 18 residences, the building offers a level of privacy and exclusivity rarely found in Manhattan. Amenities include a full-time doorman, concierge service, and sidewalk landscaping. A large basement storage unit transfers with each purchase, and pets are welcome. Ideally situated near a major entrance to Central Park, the building is steps from Madison Avenue’s boutiques, top restaurants, renowned museums, and convenient crosstown bus service. Some units feature elegant glass-enclosed "wintergardens," adding to the building’s refined charm.

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.
