Originally conceived in 1905 as the Downtown branch of the New York Public Library, 61 Rivington is one of Lower Manhattan's most architecturally significant conversions -- a masterwork by the storied firm McKim, Mead & White, the visionaries behind the Brooklyn Museum and Washington Square Arch. Today, this Classical Revival landmark has been transformed into just eleven bespoke residences, each a testament to the art of considered design. Residence 4B is a rare offering: a pin-drop quiet, southwest-facing urban sanctuary that marries historic pedigree with the highest caliber of contemporary finish. Soaring ceilings, wide-plank European light oak floors, and oversized windows frame the space with a gallery-like serenity --while original exposed brick walls and preserved terrazzo throughout the lobby whisper the building's storied past. At the heart of the residence, the kitchen is a study in restrained luxury. Custom dark walnut cabinetry, natural stone waterfall countertops and backsplash, and a curated suite of Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Asko appliances satisfy both the aesthete and the culinary purist. The primary suite is a genuine retreat -- generously proportioned, supremely quiet, and appointed with a custom outfitted walk-in closet. The ensuite bath elevates the everyday into ritual: a monumental glass shower clad in natural stone waterfall slab, double vanities set into a single three-inch stone slab, honed stone floors with radiant heat, heated towel rails, and Kallista and Kohler fixtures throughout. The second bedroom - equally refined - functions beautifully as a private study or guest suite, with convenient access to a second full bath complete with soaking tub. The crown jewel of this residence is its 493-square-foot south-facing terrace -- a private outdoor domain of extraordinary rarity in Manhattan. State-of-the-art accordion doors dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, creating a seamless flow ideal for intimate entertaining or quiet contemplation. Outfitted with dedicated lighting and irrigation, this is a terrace that performs as beautifully as it presents. The Library's six-story form is itself a composition: three floors of original Classical Revival facade, anchored by two original Corinthian columns, crowned by three stories of contemporary glass addition. Inside, the building offers a private fitness center, virtual doorman, bike storage, community Wi-Fi in amenity areas, and a furnished rooftop terrace with BBQ --a thoughtful homage to the city's first open-air rooftop reading room that once occupied this very site. The Library's boutique scale of just eleven residences contributes to an intimacy rarely found in the city -- and to carrying costs that are as exceptional as the address itself, with notably low property taxes and common charges. Positioned at the confluence of the Lower East Side, Nolita, NoHo, the East Village, and Little Italy, 61 Rivington places you not merely near the pulse of downtown Manhattan -- but at its very center. One of only eleven. Irreplaceable by definition. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 3 - **Sqft**: 1,006 sqft - **Stories**: 6 - **Year Built**: 1905 - **Price per Sqft**: $2,977 - **Common Charges**: $1,421 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Jun 1, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 101 Days ### Residence Features - Building Other - In Unit - Building Courtyard - Building Roof Deck - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - Walk-In Closet(s) - Dishwasher - City ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 11 apartments at The Library have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,975,000 in February 2022.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at The Library is $2,314,869, based on 4 sales between October 2021 and January 2022. This home is asking $2,995,000, $680,131 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $2,114,846 and $2,524,979. - **Median closed price**: $2,314,869 - **Middle half**: $2,114,846 – $2,524,979 - **Based on**: 4 two-bedroom sales at The Library - **Period**: October 2021 – January 2022 - **Median $/ft²**: $2,051/ft² Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 101.2% of what it originally asked. 25% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 101.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 25% of 4 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 21 days (about 3 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 109 days (about 16 weeks) Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 101.2% of what it originally asked. 25% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 21 days (about 3 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 3 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 109 days (about 16 weeks), based on the 4 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 4 two-bedroom sales at The Library, October 2021 – January 2022. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for condo and house two-bedroom sales in Lower East Side, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,968,750 | 17 | | 2018 | $2,512,500 | 39 | | 2019 | $2,415,399 | 28 | | 2021 | $1,985,756 | 22 | | 2022 | $2,475,000 | 39 | | 2023 | $2,291,063 | 27 | | 2024 | $1,925,000 | 12 | | 2025 | $2,065,000 | 17 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Lower East Side instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1004151209. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
