Carter’s Review

"This handsome apartment building occupies a prime site on Fifth Avenue directly across from the spectacular Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. As a result, its long sidestreet façade has dramatic views of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright museum's curves and more privacy and Central Park views than most sidestreet exposures.

The 14-story building was converted to a cooperative in 1947 and has only 13 apartments. The building, which has a sidestreet entrance as well as a maisonette apartment with its own entrance on sidestreet, is perhaps most notable, however, for its very fine rooftop watertank enclosure, one of the most striking in the city."

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.
