## Property Overview

Ideally located on a picturesque and tree-lined street, moments from Central Park and in one of the most desirable neighborhoods of New York City, this splendid 1901 townhouse features exquisite period detail, marvelous proportions and room volumes, and very high ceilings.  At twenty feet in width and with the luxury of a flexible floor plan, the residence is gloriously light-filled.  Currently configured as single-family home, 27 East 73rd Street has C5-1 commercial zoning as part of a Restricted Commercial District, the Special Madison Avenue Preservation District. As a result, the house presents numerous residential and commercial possibilities, and also has additional available FAR.

Accessed via the ground floor, the Garden Level currently offers the possibility to create a self-contained full-floor residence, as it includes a Great Room with a full Kitchen, a large Bedroom and ensuite Bath, as well as ample storage, a Laundry Room, and access to the walled Garden.

Above, the house presents the more traditional configuration of a single-family residence and benefits from beautiful details, including a number of wood-burning fireplaces, oversized windowvery high ceilings and wonderfully sun-filled rooms.

On the Parlor Floor, the Gallery opens to an impressive pair of entertainment rooms: a large, square Living Room with a wood-burning fireplace and three very tall south-facing windows; and a capacious Dining Room, nearly 27 feet in length and with a bay window with views to the Garden below.  Both rooms are blessed with ceilings over 13 feet in height.  Beyond, an efficient Kitchen has back stair-access to the Garden Level Laundry Room and a dumbwaiter.

Above, the Third Floor is comprised of a generous Primary Suite that incorporates a large Bedroom, sizable Bath, and a very handsome wood-paneled Library with a wood-burning fireplace.  These are connected by a beautiful, arched hall that includes a Dressing Room and an Office.  Throughout, ceilings are nearly 11 feet in height, and original hardwood patterned floors and exquisite detail, such as windowed pocket doors and very elegant millwork, lend a period charm that is rarely seen.

On the Fourth and Fifth Floors, there are four additional Bedrooms, all very generous in proportion and with ample closets.  On the Fourth Level, both Bedrooms have ensuite Baths, and the south-facing Bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace; Bedrooms on the Fifth Level share a Bath.

In addition to the charming walled Garden, the house benefits from a full Basement Level.  Stewarded and cared for since the 1920s by multiple generations of a single family, its detail has been preserved and its systems kept in order.  With significant potential and a stellar location in the coveted Upper East Side Historic District, this marvelous and light-filled townhouse awaits its next chapter.

## Sales Evidence

### 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 $9,850,000, $900,000 below 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 1013880016. 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.
