Carter’s Review

"One of the prettiest buildings on one of the city's greatest residential blocks, this handsome, Italian Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment building was erected in 1911 and converted to a cooperative in 1988.

This building has a canopied, step-up entrance flanked by lanterns, two-story-high limestone pilasters and a doorman. The building has nice wrought-iron balconies, some leaded windows, a two-story limestone base, limestone window reveals on the third floor and handsome entrance doors. It has no garage and no health club."

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.
