Carter’s Review

"This very handsome and dignified, red-brick apartment building at occupies the entire Madison Avenue blockfront between 36th and 37th streets across from The Morgan Library.

It was built in 1940 and designed by Kenneth B. Norton, who also designed the similar Helmsley Carlton House on Madison Avenue between 60th and 61st streets."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" 1940s cooperative offers "classic prewar charm" in a "prime Murray Hill location." The "full-service" building boasts a "comprehensive" amenity package including doorman, concierge, and a "coveted" roof deck, while its position provides "ideal access" to Midtown's business district. Set in a neighborhood known for its "elegant townhouse blocks" and "vibrant restaurant scene," this 15-story building delivers "Manhattan convenience" with a "established residential feel."

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.
