## Property Overview

17 East 76th Street sits midway between Fifth and Madison Avenues, half a block from Central Park, on the Upper East Side’s most prized townhouse blocks. 17 East 76th Street is a 5-unit investment property with exceptionally strong annual income and long-term upside, while also presenting potential for conversion to a grand-single family townhouse. The residence retains the proportions and craftsmanship buyers expect- high ceilings, restored oak pocket-door parlors, and six relined wood-burning fireplaces- while operating with modern infrastructure, including a Swiss-engineered Bucher hydraulic elevator serving the garden through fourth floors and significant upgrades to mechanical, life-safety, and building systems. Outdoor space is unusually substantial for this location, totaling over 1,250 square feet across gardens and terraces, including a private rear garden and a Japanese-landscape terrace garden featured in Architectural Digest. Built in 1895–96 as one of a sister row of limestone-and-brick residences, the home is known as the “Piscator House,” associated with the German director Erwin Piscator, co-founder of Epic Theatre alongside Bertolt Brecht. Spanning approximately 9,411 square feet across 51/2 stories and 20 feet of width, the property was comprehensively reimagined in 2007 and refreshed in 2021–24, with a new Certificate of Occupancy issued in January 2023. Landmark limestone fac¸ades, mature trees, and an intact, protected streetscape define this stretch of 76th- quiet, private, and enduring. The Mark and The Carlyle anchor the immediate corridor, while Sotheby’s new headquarters and Gagosian’s expansion nearby reinforce the area’s longstanding position at the center of New York’s cultural and residential landscape.

## Sales Evidence

### Recent closed sales

17 East 76th Street has 2 recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $9,500,000 in December 2023. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices.

| Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Parlor Floor (Triplex) | 2 | $9,500,000 | December 29, 2023 | MLS |
| Entire property (Single Family Residence) | 6 | $14,800,000 | September 20, 2021 | 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 Upper East Side is $10,750,000, based on 29 sales between September 2021 and July 2026. This home is asking $24,700,000, $13,950,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $6,550,000 and $16,000,000.

- **Median closed price**: $10,750,000
- **Middle half**: $6,550,000 – $16,000,000
- **Based on**: 29 house sales in Upper East Side
- **Period**: September 2021 – July 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,879/ft²

Across the 24 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89% of what it originally asked. 88% 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 Upper East Side. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 89% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 88% of 24 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 164 days (about 23 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 62 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 24 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89% of what it originally asked. 88% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 164 days (about 23 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 28 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 62 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 28 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 29 house sales in Upper East Side, September 2021 – July 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 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.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1013910012. 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.
