Overview of The Finch at 61 East 77th Street

Built at the turn of the 20th century, 61 East 77th Street is one of two prewar buildings comprising The Finch co-operative, formerly the home of Finch College; a women's private school whose alumni include Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Whitneys, and Isabella Rossellini. After the college closed its doors in 1975, the stately red brick and limestone buildings were converted into residential apartments and designated landmarks.

Amenities in this boutique co-operative include a part-time doorman, Monday-Friday from 12:00pm-8:00pm and 2:00pm-10:00pm on weekends, an elevator, a live-in resident manager, and a laundry room. Pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, subletting and pets are considered on a case-by-case basis. Located near Museum Mile, enjoy close proximity to museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Breuer, and the Guggenheim. It is also close to Central Park, the Carlyle Hotel, the Mark Hotel, and the 6 subway line.

Carter’s Review

"This handsome, 11-story, mid-block apartment building was erected in 1904 and is a cooperative with 40 units.

The building was expanded on its eastern side with similar colored bricks but not architectural detailing. Many of its apartments have high-ceilings and it is on a a pretty, tree-lined 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.
