Overview of 70 East 77th Street

70 East 77th Street is a 32 apartment pre-war co-op built in 1918 on the Upper East Side, between Madison and Park Avenues. The nine story red brick building has an unusually detailed mid-block façade, with a two story terracotta entrance surround, horizontal stringcourses, arched lunettes and a scalloped cornice.

Apartments commonly follow large classic layouts organized around entry foyers or galleries, formal living and dining rooms, and separate bedroom wings. Wood burning fireplaces, ceilings around 9 feet 4 inches, libraries or offices, windowed kitchens and in-unit laundry recur in the larger residences. A roughly 4,100 square foot duplex departs from the building’s predominantly single level plans, arranging living space below private quarters and opening its entrance foyer to a double-height ceiling of nearly 19 feet.

The building has a full time doorman, a live-in resident manager, private storage, a bicycle room, central laundry, a fitness room and a courtyard garden with an outdoor lounge and play area. Pets are permitted. Central Park is two avenue blocks west, while the Carlyle Hotel, the Mark and the shops and restaurants of Madison Avenue are close at hand; the museums along Fifth Avenue are also nearby.

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.
