141 East 18th Street, the past week's top contract (Leslie J. Garfield)
Last week, full-floor units in exclusive boutique condominiums and highly selective cooperatives dominated the top sales. But for some luxury buyers, even this isn't enough privacy: The top contract CityRealty recorded from June 12-18, 2023 was a townhouse at 141 East 18th Street, which entered contract with an asking price of $11,700,000. Olshan Realty's market report notes that the unidentified seller bought it for $5.8 million in 2015 and embarked on an extensive renovation by Steven Harris Architects.
The house is currently configured as an upper three-bedroom quadruplex with a one-bedroom apartment below. The listing describes the one-bedroom as ideal for guests or a home office, and features of the main house include a gracious stoop entry, a modern kitchen, a full-floor primary suite with custom dressing closets, and a private roof deck with open skyline views. It is being sold fully furnished.

The top apartment contract and second-highest overall took place at 200 East 79th Street, where #14A, a five-bedroom condominium, entered contract with a $9,800,000 ask. This Upper East Side home's proportions and layout nod to its prewar predecessors, but features like state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, custom closets, a central Nest thermostat, and an integrated sound system nod to the modern buyer's needs. The buyer was not identified, but the contract comes less than a year after food entrepreneur Robert Jakobi bought an apartment in the building.
The top co-op contract was for #5G at The Beresford, the Emery Roth-designed cooperative that has been presenting high-rnaking sales over the past several weeks. This four-bedroom, five-bath corner home entered contract with an $8,950,000 asking price.
