Overview of Colony House at 30 East 65th Street

Colony House is a 17 story white brick co-op at 30 East 65th Street, built in 1962 with 65 units. Named after the famous Colony Restaurant that previously occupied the site, the building features a canopied entrance, sidewalk landscaping, and setbacks near the top that create terraces for upper floor residences. The building's prime location sits one block from Central Park at the corner of Madison Avenue, surrounded by fashionable boutiques, fine dining, and cultural institutions, with convenient access to multiple subway lines and cross town bus service.

Apartments range from one bedrooms to Classic 7 layouts and duplexes, with many units featuring generous proportions and terraces. Notable examples include Apartment 15A, a two bedroom with two sweeping wraparound terraces offering panoramic views of Central Park and the city skyline, and Apartment 6/7E, a duplex with a 31 foot long living room and bedrooms with large dressing areas. Recent renovations showcase high end finishes including Calacutta marble, Gaggenau and Miele appliances, custom closets, and smart home features. Many units feature floor to ceiling windows, corner exposures, and in unit washer dryers, with layouts accommodating elliptical foyers, open kitchens, and multiple en suite bathrooms.

The building operates as a white glove full service cooperative with 24 hour doorman, concierge, and live in superintendent. Amenities include a newly renovated landscaped roof deck with Central Park views, fitness center, bicycle room, private storage, laundry room, and on site parking garage for an additional fee. Monthly maintenance includes electric and fuel surcharges, and the building maintains reasonable fees relative to comparable white glove cooperatives, partly due to the co-op owning the retail space.

The building permits 50% financing, welcomes pied-à-terre purchasers, co purchasing, and gifting, but does not allow guarantors. Cats are permitted while dogs are not allowed. A 2% flip tax is payable by the buyer at transfer. The combination of prime location, generous apartment layouts with terraces, full service amenities, and flexible ownership policies makes Colony House a notable option on the Upper East Side.

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.
