Carter’s Review

"This very elegant, mid-block, apartment house was built as a cooperative in 1929. The 14-story building has only 13 apartments.

The bottom two stories of the building's limestone façade are rusticated. The doorman building has a canopied entrance with handsome wrought-iron doors. It has sidewalk landscaping, inconsistent fenestration, no garage and permits protruding air-conditioners. It is just to the east of the luxury apartment tower at 900 Park Avenue that has a large plaza and driveway."

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.
