Overview of 125 East 74th Street

Sited on a picturesque tree-lined street, three short blocks from Central Park, 125 East 74th Street is a distinguished 10-story prewar co-op designed in 1929 by renowned architect Lafayette A. Goldstone, celebrated for his work on Park Avenue landmarks. Featuring a neo-Italian Renaissance design, this elegant red-brick building with a striking limestone base was converted to a cooperative in 1953. With only 30 residences, including a duplex penthouse with an exposed rooftop water tank, this sought-after address perfectly blends historic charm and modern convenience.

The building offers a wealth of amenities, including a backyard garden with a bike shed, a fitness center, private storage, and a central laundry room. Residents enjoy the services of a full-time doorman, resident manager, handyman, and porters, ensuring a seamless living experience. Policies are designed to accommodate modern lifestyles, with pets allowed (subject to board approval), pied-à-terre permitted, and 50% financing accepted. There is also a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.

Situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, 125 East 74th Street is ideally located near Central Park, world-class cultural landmarks such as The Frick Collection and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the boutiques and fine dining of Madison and Lexington Avenues. Convenient transportation options include the Lexington Avenue subway and cross-town buses on 72nd Street.

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.
