## Property Overview

There are renovated residences, and then there are residences renovated like this. 4B at 40 West 55th is a fully gut-renovated two-bedroom, two-bath home where every finish was chosen with intention and it shows in every room. The entry foyer draws you in immediately with the wide-plank original white oak floors, gallery-lit one of a kind artwork, and a custom live-edge wood console that sets the tone for what follows.

 The living room, which spans over 22 feet, is bright with large tilt-and-turn, airy windows. Yet the space is still warm, with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling Emperador marble wood-burning fireplace. The edges are flanked by custom walnut built-in shelving, integrated lighting, and textured walls. This room provides both options for relaxing and entertaining.

 The formal dining room is one of the most remarkable spaces in the residence. Custom floor-to ceiling walnut cabinetry wraps three walls. A sculptural crystal chandelier anchors the room. The dedicated wet bar nook is tucked seamlessly into the millwork; complete with a built-in dual zone wine and beverage fridge. With exotic Brazilian Blue Bahia quartzite countertops, glass-front upper cabinets, and hand-cast ginkgo hardware throughout, it is the kind of room that makes entertaining feel effortless. For buyers who don't need a formal dining room, the space converts

 beautifully to a home library or second sitting room.

 The kitchen was renovated to a standard you rarely see in a prewar two-bedroom including: Fantasy Macaubas quartzite countertops and window sill, Opalina glass subway tile backsplash, Waypoint maple cabinetry, a Ruvati undermount stainless sink with a bridge faucet with brand new disposal, Samsung counter-depth French door refrigerator, and a GE Profile dishwasher. A separate service entrance off the kitchen is a practical luxury that residents of full-service buildings genuinely appreciate.

 The primary bedroom is a sun-filled room with warm oak floors, a designer brass ceiling fan, and custom raised-panel millwork closet doors that speak to the level of finish throughout. It includes a large closet, custom built out with bespoke hardware. The windowed en-suite bath is finished to an exceptional standard with marble mosaic tile wainscoting, a soaking tub, a Kohler HydroRail pressure-balanced shower system with brushed gold hardware, a custom floating vanity with stone countertop, and a sculptural multi-globe ceiling fixture.

 The second bedroom is equally bright with newly installed ceiling lights and matching sconces that illuminate expensive venetian plaster. This along with the walk-in custom closet gives the feel of a second primary bedroom. Close by, the second bath features a walk-in Delta shower system, frameless glass enclosure, large-format porcelain tile, and a marble vanity top with polished nickel fixtures.

 Brand new through-wall air conditioning serves every room, seamlessly concealed within custom millwork that also allows for easy temperature adjustment. Storage is exceptional for a residence of this size, with custom built-in cabinetry throughout and two additional private storage units in the building that transfer with the sale.

 40 West 55th Street is a 1924 Rosario Candela-designed prewar condominium that underwent a $3.5M restoration featured in The New York Times. The building was returned to its original residential layout with upgraded mechanical systems, restored terrazzo lobby floors, and a Venetian-style fresco ceiling. Amenities include a full-time door attendant, elevator, and common laundry. Pets are welcome. Just moments from Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue, this residence offers an elevated and exceptionally convenient Midtown lifestyle.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at 40 West 55TH Street is $1,360,000, based on 11 sales between October 2021 and March 2026. This home is asking $1,999,999, $639,999 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,220,000 and $1,812,500.

- **Median closed price**: $1,360,000
- **Middle half**: $1,220,000 – $1,812,500
- **Based on**: 11 two-bedroom sales at 40 West 55TH Street
- **Period**: October 2021 – March 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,271/ft²

Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.8% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 96.8% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 75% of 8 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 64 days (about 9 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 42 days (about 6 weeks)

Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.8% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 64 days (about 9 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 8 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 42 days (about 6 weeks), based on the 8 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 11 two-bedroom sales at 40 West 55TH Street, October 2021 – March 2026. 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 Midtown, 2017 to 2026. 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 | $2,050,000 | 32 |
| 2018 | $2,815,000 | 31 |
| 2019 | $2,192,400 | 24 |
| 2020 | $3,900,000 | 22 |
| 2021 | $1,727,500 | 44 |
| 2022 | $1,700,000 | 27 |
| 2023 | $2,125,000 | 26 |
| 2024 | $2,010,000 | 48 |
| 2025 | $2,100,000 | 41 |
| 2026 | $3,494,215 | 33 |

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 Midtown 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.

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 1012701015. 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.
