## Property Overview

Residence 38A at the Baccarat Hotel and Residences is a masterpiece of exceptional design, refined elegance, and iconic Manhattan views-one of the most sought-after and best-selling lines in the building. This premier 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath condominium spans approximately 2,525 square feet and offers 11-foot ceilings with three sweeping exposures-North, South, and East. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame magical vistas of Central Park, the Midtown skyline, and dramatic cityscapes from nearly every room, including the primary bathroom and walk-in closet.

 The grand living and entertaining space is enhanced by custom millwork designed by Tony Ingrao, elevating the room with bespoke detail and tailored sophistication. The stunning kitchen features two-tone nickel cabinetry paired with white-slab marble countertops and a striking glass backsplash. Top-of-the-line Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, an LG washer/dryer, and a secondary prep area make the space ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.

 The luxurious primary bathroom is an oasis, appointed with honed Lido white marble, radiant-heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a distinctive glass panel separating the powder and shower areas. All bathrooms and the powder room are wrapped in floor-to-ceiling Lido marble, creating a seamless and opulent aesthetic throughout.

 Perfect as a primary residence, pied-à-terre, or investment property, this home includes central AC and heat, hardwood floors, abundant closet space, and only two residences per floor, ensuring the utmost privacy and quiet.

 Designed throughout by Tony Ingrao, the interiors exude contemporary glamour with wide ebony-stained white oak floors, a sleek SieMatic kitchen, and meticulously executed finishes found only in the city's most prestigious buildings.

 Residents enjoy the full suite of five-star Baccarat Hotel amenities, including a 10,000-square-foot wellness center, La Mer spa, a 55-foot pool, Michelin-level dining, and white-glove services such as 24/7 concierge, doorman, and valet parking. Perfectly positioned on Fifth Avenue-steps from MoMA and moments from Central Park-Residence 38A offers one of the most coveted addresses in all of Manhattan.

| 36A (Apartment) | — | 2,525 | $7,000,000 | $2,772/ft² | June 21, 2024 | City record |
| 30A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,303 | $6,700,000 | $2,909/ft² | April 3, 2024 | 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 three-bedroom sales at Baccarat Hotel And Residences is $6,073,152, based on 4 sales between May 2023 and May 2026. This home is asking $7,999,000, $1,925,848 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $5,446,227 and $6,800,000.

- **Median closed price**: $6,073,152
- **Middle half**: $5,446,227 – $6,800,000
- **Based on**: 4 three-bedroom sales at Baccarat Hotel And Residences
- **Period**: May 2023 – May 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $2,484/ft²

Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 91.2% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 91.2% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 76 days (about 11 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 107 days (about 15 weeks)

Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 91.2% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 76 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 3 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 107 days (about 15 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 4 three-bedroom sales at Baccarat Hotel And Residences, May 2023 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot for sales at Baccarat Hotel And Residences, 2016 to 2024. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year.

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $3,290/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2017 | $3,031/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2023 | $2,345/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2024 | $2,772/ft² | 3 (thin) |

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

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 City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. 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.

Where an abatement applies, Property Tax is the amount owed after it. Abatements are granted to the property and do not necessarily transfer to a new owner.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1012681248. 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.
