Overview of Carlyle House at 50 East 77th Street

The Carlyle House, built in 1930 and converted to cooperative in 1954, is a 17-story Art Deco building containing 43 apartments. Designed by architects Bien & Prince, the yellow brick and limestone structure features high ceilings and large windows throughout. While separate from the famous Carlyle Hotel, the buildings were constructed simultaneously and designed to appear as one seamless façade along Madison Avenue between 76th and 77th Streets.

The building's residents enjoy a unique arrangement with access to the adjacent Carlyle Hotel's amenities through a private connecting door. These include the Valmont Spa, fitness center, Dowling's restaurant, the legendary Bemelmans Bar, Cafe Carlyle, and room service. The cooperation maintains unusually low maintenance charges due to income from its Madison Avenue retail spaces.

Carlyle House provides white-glove service with a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, and storage facilities. The building benefits from protected views due to the presence of a low-rise building across Madison Avenue, which formerly housed the Parke-Bernet auction house and now contains art galleries and boutiques.

The cooperative allows both pied-à-terres and pets, with a 2% flip tax on sales. While apartments in the building are generally larger than those in the hotel tower, they feature different view aspects but still benefit from the openness created by the low-rise building across the avenue.

Located just one block from Central Park and Fifth Avenue, the building represents a prime example of pre-war Upper East Side architecture. Its position in Manhattan's most fashionable district has made it a sought-after address since its construction, offering residents a combination of historic architectural significance and modern luxury amenities.

Carter’s Review

"Built in 1930, this 17-story building has 43 apartments and was converted to a cooperative in 1954, sixteen years before many of the units in the Hotel Carlyle were so converted. The yellow brick and limestone, Art Deco-style building was designed by Bien & Prince and has many apartments with very tall ceilings in their living rooms as is evident by the large windows on the pleasant, tree-lined sidestreet.For several decades, the Hotel Carlyle was the most prominent tower on the Upper East Side and with its peaked roof, the crown of which is a discrete, working gilded chimney, it is a major Art Deco landmark.

Although its apartments are not huge, they have stupendous views and all the service that a major luxury hotel can muster.The Carlyle House apartments are generally larger than those in the Hotel Carlyle, but they do not have as many stupendous views as those in adjacent tower although they benefit significantly from the openness created by the low-rise building across the avenue."

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.
