Built in 1925 on an 18' x 83' lot, the property is zoned for C1-5/R10. The building has a current FAR of 3.06 with a maximum FAR of 10 offering substantial future development potential. Equally appealing as an investment or end-user opportunity, the building features four thoughtfully renovated residences that feel like true homes, all renovated to an exceptional standard. Current Layout: Owner's Duplex: A beautifully renovated three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home with a private landscaped garden. Soaring 11'5" ceilings on the main living level and distinctive architectural details make this a truly unique Manhattan residence. Second Floor: An oversized one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment featuring a truly exceptional designer renovation. Executed to an uncompromising standard, the residence offers custom detailing, top-tier finishes, and a level of quality rarely found even in luxury new-construction condominiums. It features a double steam shower, vented W/D, landscaped terrace, and a sophisticated programmable lighting and dimmer system. Third Floor: A bright and spacious one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom residence with a vented washer/dryer and a sun-filled kitchen opening directly onto a private terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. Top Floor: A one-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with a vented washer/dryer. The kitchen is incredibly unique in New York City, as it’s illuminated by an entire ceiling of skylights, as is the secondary bathroom which features a soaking tub beneath its own skylit ceiling. 131 East 39th Street is a truly unique offering. The combination of beautifully maintained residences, income-producing possibilities, and significant development potential is exceptionally rare in Manhattan. Opportunities like this seldom come to market because they don’t usually exist. A true unicorn right in the middle of midtown Manhattan! ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 6 - **Total Baths**: 9 - **Rooms**: 20 - **Sqft**: 4,574 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1925 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,529 - **Monthly Taxes**: $6,500 / mo - **Listed On**: Aug 24, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 22 Days ### Residence Features - Building Washer Dryer Install Allowed - Laundry Room - Dryer - Washer - City ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 131 East 39th Street has 2 recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $925,000 in May 2025. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3 (Apartment) | 1 | — | $925,000 | — | May 8, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 1 (Duplex) | 2 | 2,000 | $2,365,000 | $1,183/ft² | July 27, 2023 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Murray Hill is $6,345,000, based on 6 sales between July 2022 and August 2026. This home is asking $6,995,000, $650,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $4,772,500 and $6,762,500. - **Median closed price**: $6,345,000 - **Middle half**: $4,772,500 – $6,762,500 - **Based on**: 6 house sales in Murray Hill - **Period**: July 2022 – August 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,075/ft² Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 88.4% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Murray Hill. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 88.4% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 5 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 210 days (about 30 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 37 days (about 5 weeks) Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 88.4% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 210 days (about 30 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 37 days (about 5 weeks), based on the 3 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 6 house sales in Murray Hill, July 2022 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. 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.

The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $78,586 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
