## Property Overview

Welcome to Charing Cross House, a sought-after Upper East Side cooperative at 305 East 72nd Street, offering a polished blend of comfort, convenience, and classic Lenox Hill appeal.

This rarely available AS line has been thoughtfully refined by the owners and is in beautiful move-in condition. The generous main room features new hardwood floors and a lovely corner window configuration that brings in excellent natural light, along with attractive northeast views. The separate kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops, high-end appliances, and abundant cabinet storage.

The bright white bathroom is complemented by a private dressing area and finished with a stylish porcelain vanity and additional storage shelving. Three extra-large closets provide exceptional storage for a home of this size.

Charing Cross House, named in honor of Helene Hanff, author of 84, Charing Cross Road, offers full-service living with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, 24-hour fitness center, and an eco-friendly roof deck garden with vertical green walls and sedum plantings. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Lenox Hill, the building sits directly across from the Second Avenue subway and is close to neighborhood restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences.

The unusually low carrying costs for a full-service Upper East Side building make this opportunity even more compelling, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of ownership, full-service amenities, and a prime Lenox Hill location for less than the cost of renting.

Pet-friendly and flexible, the co-op permits pieds-à-terre and co-purchasing, making this a rare opportunity in one of the Upper East Side’s most convenient locations.

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 studio sales at Charing Cross House is $445,000, based on 15 sales between September 2021 and March 2026. This home is asking $479,000, $34,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $398,750 and $469,500.

- **Median closed price**: $445,000
- **Middle half**: $398,750 – $469,500
- **Based on**: 15 studio sales at Charing Cross House
- **Period**: September 2021 – March 2026

Square footage is recorded for only 3 of these 15 sales (20%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.

Across the 10 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.5% of what it originally asked. 70% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 95.5% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 70% of 10 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 83 days (about 12 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 104 days (about 15 weeks)

Across the 10 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.5% of what it originally asked. 70% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 83 days (about 12 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 13 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 104 days (about 15 weeks), based on the 13 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that.

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 15 studio sales at Charing Cross House, September 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 co-op studio sales in Lenox Hill, 2016 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $434,250 | 19 |
| 2017 | $458,500 | 78 |
| 2018 | $448,000 | 66 |
| 2019 | $427,500 | 50 |
| 2020 | $415,000 | 39 |
| 2021 | $413,750 | 102 |
| 2022 | $425,000 | 108 |
| 2023 | $437,750 | 76 |
| 2024 | $402,500 | 70 |
| 2025 | $440,000 | 67 |
| 2026 | $436,000 | 26 |

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 Lenox Hill 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.
