Carter’s Review

"This very handsome, 14-story building was erected in 1916 and converted to a cooperative in 1958. It has 35 apartments.

The doorman building has a canopied entrance and a frieze across the top of its roofline. It permits protruding air-conditioners and one of its retail tenants, William Graham Arader III, has a "baby" canopy adjacent to the entrance on 72nd Street. The building has inconsistent fenestration, no balconies and no sidewalk landscaping."

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.
