Built in 1928 and designed by renowned architect F. Burrell Hoffman, 136 East 79th Street is an intimate and prestigious boutique cooperative. Comprising 14 stories and only 25 homes, this exclusive building offers residents 24-hour staff, a live-in resident manager, and a state-of-the-art gym. Additional amenities include designated wine storage, bicycle storage, and a lovely landscaped communal garden, ensuring both convenience and comfort.
This Georgian-style building stands out for its elegant red-brick façade, featuring simple limestone window surrounds that add a touch of sophistication. The large, tall arched windows on the first floor, delicate wrought-iron window grills, and a wrought-iron second-floor balcony above the entrance enhance the building's distinguished character. The top of the building showcases an irregular window pattern, reflecting the unique layouts of the apartments within.
Converted to a cooperative in 1946, 136 East 79th Street offers a serene and private atmosphere with just 30 apartments in total. Residents enjoy an ideal location in the heart of the Upper East Side, with Central Park, world-class museums, galleries, and an exceptional variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops right at their doorstep. Excellent transportation options, including a nearby subway station at Lexington Avenue and 77th Street, provide easy access to the rest of the city.
The building also features sidewalk landscaping, discreet air-conditioning units, and beautiful wrought-iron entrance doors beneath a broken pediment surround, with a large circular window as an architectural highlight. This cooperative allows for 50% financing.

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.
