Carter’s Review

"This is a very fine and grand Italian Renaissance-palazzo apartment house with a very imposing and dramatic colonnaded entrance.

The façade has a three-story limestone base, several decorative balconies, rusticated quoins and huge scroll brackets that once supported a now-missing cornice. The canopied entrance has a step that leads to a step-up lobby and is flanked by limestone globular lanterns on limestone stanchions next to a wrought-iron fence. The large entrance surround is unusual in its use of circular elements on the flanking pilasters."

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.
