Overview of Charing Cross House at 305 East 72nd Street
The Charing Cross House at 305 East 72nd Street ranks within the lucky category of buildings that seem to get better with age. When the 17-story high-rise went up in 1955, it offered column-free corner windows and a beige brick façade that harmonized with its pre-war neighbors. Since then, the doorman condop has been upgraded with amenities such as a bike storage room, a spacious fitness center, and a verdant roof deck perfect for open-air socializing while gazing on sweeping skyline views. Moreover, in 2017, the Second Avenue subway introduced the 72nd Street station of the M, Q, and R trains at the foot of the building, turning the building into one of the most transit-accessible on the Upper East Side. Pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors, and subletting are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Carter’s Review
"This attractive, beige-brick, 17-story building was erected in 1955 and converted to a cooperative in 1987. It has 174 apartments.
The building has some bay windows along Second Avenue and some sidewalk landscaping at its canopied entrance, which has a small bronze marquee. The building has a doorman, discrete air-conditioners and some terraces. Its comer retail space is leased to a 24-hour pharmacy."

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.
