Carter’s Review

"This handsome, pre-war cooperative apartment building at 212 East 48th Street in the Turtle Bay neighborhood was erected in 1924. 

It was designed by John H. Duncan, who designed Grant’s Tomb in Riverside Park and the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch in Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn at the entrance to Prospect Park. "

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" Turtle Bay co-op offers "elegant touches" including a "formal lobby" leading to a "private garden oasis", complemented by a "stunning furnished roof deck". The "well-staffed" building provides doorman service and sits on a "charming residential block", while maintaining "convenient proximity" to midtown offices. Though "steps from bustling Third Avenue", residents appreciate the "serene setting" complete with basement laundry and "classic pre-war details".

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.
