Overview of 133 East 64th Street

Designed by renowned architect Kenneth Murchison in 1927, 133 East 64th Street is a boutique, full-service cooperative building located on the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue. This 12-story beige-brick building features 23 cooperative apartments and is known for its tasteful and understated neo-classical design.

The structure includes a three-story rusticated stone base, a canopied entrance flanked by sconces and columns, and storefronts with a Vitruvian wave detail in limestone. Additional architectural details include Greek-inspired window frames and attenuated pilasters.

The building offers a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, fireplaces in select apartments, and a pet-friendly policy. Pied-à-terre ownership is allowed on a case-by-case basis, with a maximum financing limit of 50%. Despite its prime location, the property does not include sidewalk landscaping but features distinctive retail spaces on Lexington Avenue.

Historically, the building catered to a clientele that appreciated a quieter alternative to the prestige of Fifth, Madison, and Park Avenues. It gained notoriety as the residence of Bernard Madoff at the time of his arrest in 2009. The building's legacy and design continue to appeal to discerning residents seeking a refined yet unpretentious lifestyle in the heart of the Upper East Side.

Carter’s Review

"This attractive, 12-story apartment building at 133 West 64th Street was erected in 1927 and designed by Kenneth Murchison and is most famous for having been the residence of Bernard Madoff, the swindler, at the time of his arrest in 2009.

The beige-brick building has a three-story stone base and the ground floor is rusticated. It has a canopied, two-step-up entrance flanked by sconces and columns and topped by a fanlight and two balustraded office entrances on the side-street. The building has fireplaces, a doorman and is petfriendly but has no sidewalk landscaping but very handsome retail spaces on the avenue."

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.
