The Thornley is an Art Deco co-op with full-time doorman and amenities. It allows pets and pieds-a-terre, and is conveniently located near transportation and services. Currently, 2 apartments are for sale.
The Thornley is a 16 story, 83 unit co-op at 215 East 79th Street, completed in 1947. Commissioned before World War II and finished afterward, it combines Art Deco and pre-war design elements with post-war construction; the apartment house was converted from rental use to cooperative ownership in 1969.
The beige brick façade rises from a one story limestone base with broad rounded fluting, while the entrance has a canopy and stainless steel marquee leading to a white marble lobby. Many apartments retain sunken living rooms, high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and through the wall air conditioning. Windowed kitchens, generous foyers and dining areas that adapt as offices or additional sleeping rooms recur in the layouts, along with corner windows, multiple exposures and substantial closet space.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, live-in resident manager, central laundry room, bicycle room and resident storage. Its landscaped roof deck has furnished seating and city views. Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted, and in-unit washer and dryer installations require board approval.
The Yorkville address sits amid the restaurants and neighborhood shopping of East 79th Street and the surrounding avenues, with Central Park to the west and Carl Schurz Park to the east. The 77th Street station at Lexington Avenue serves the 6 train.

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.
