Nestled on one of the most coveted tree-lined blocks between Madison and Park Avenue, 46 East 71st was built in 1928 by Aymar Embury II, best known for his commissions from the City of New York from the 1930s through the 1950s when he worked as chief architect for Robert Moses, New York's most powerful and influential urban planner. A single-family townhouse offering 9023 sqft of impeccably designed living space across 6 levels including a fully finished cellar and a private elevator serving all floors.

They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Sales data through August 2026. 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.

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 1013850043. 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.
