Overview of Sage House at 4 Lexington Avenue

Sage House was built in 1913 for the Russell Sage Foundation, a social welfare nonprofit that was an early advocate of social work and urban planning. Renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury designed the building in the style of a Florentine Renaissance palazzo and included vaulted ceilings with a rough-cut red sandstone faade with carved decorative shields. It was converted to residential use in 1975, and residents have access to a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, laundry room, bike room, and storage. The building is pet-friendly, allows up to 80% financing, and permits pied-a-terres and gifting. The building also has a liberal subletting policy available after 1 year of ownership with board approval.

Sage House is located at 4 Lexington Avenue near fine dining, the Gramercy Park Hotel, Union Square Park, Madison Square Park, and the transportation options near each.

Carter’s Review

"Sage House is an extremely handsome, pre-war office building that was erected in 1912 for the Russell Sage Foundation at 4 Lexington Avenue on the southeast corner at 22nd Street. 

It was sold in 1949 to Catholic Charities and in 1975 it was converted to residential use. "

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "stunning" pre-war co-op, originally home to the Russell Sage Foundation, brings "Florentine Renaissance" grandeur to Gramercy Park with its "ornate" red sandstone facade and "vaulted ceilings." The "full-service" building offers "24-hour doorman" and concierge services, while its "prime location" puts residents steps from the park and major dining destinations. The 1913 Grosvenor Atterbury-designed landmark maintains its "historic charm" while providing modern amenities, with a board that's "thorough but accommodating." Its "flexible sublet policy" and "convenient" location near transportation make it an attractive option for discerning buyers seeking pre-war elegance.

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.
