170 East 79th Street is an intimate and elegant fifteen-story cooperative built in 1927, designed by the renowned architect J.E.R. Carpenter. This prewar building consists of twenty-six units and offers a range of services and amenities. These include a part-time doorman available from 8 AM to midnight, a live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, and bike storage. Residents also enjoy access to a quaint landscaped garden.
Situated on a picturesque tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side, the building is strategically located near Museum Mile, making it easy to visit prominent museums like The Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim, the Cooper Hewitt Museum, and the Jewish Museum. The cooperative is just a short walk from Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, known for its iconic running routes. The area also boasts some of the city’s finest dining and shopping options, including Maman, Levain Bakery, Eli’s Market, and Madison Avenue shops.
The building is pet-friendly, allows 50% financing, and permits pied-à-terres. Residents may install in-unit washer/dryers, through-wall air conditioners, and pets are allowed, all subject to board approval. This boutique cooperative combines the convenience of modern amenities with the charm of prewar architecture, offering a prestigious and comfortable living environment.

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.
