With a view of Central Park, sophisticated interiors, and an extraordinary two-level roof garden, it is quite literally a slice of Water Mill in the sky. Gut renovated with an exacting eye for design and craftsmanship, the residence features an expansive open living and entertaining space with custom white oak millwork, beautifully finished white oak floors, and a dramatic working poured-concrete fireplace. A bespoke kitchen combines refined design with exceptional functionality, featuring Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances, Ann Sacks tile, and Caesarstone surfaces. A sun-filled garden room currently configured as a private gym offers an additional flexible living space and a seamless connection to the outdoors. The upper level offers a generous open office, library, and two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. Throughout, the residence is distinguished by custom craftsmanship and elevated finishes, including Waterworks Studio fixtures, Kohler and Toto fixtures, and Caesarstone bath surfaces. The private roof garden is the defining feature of this remarkable home. Spanning two levels and overlooking Central Park, the meticulously landscaped oasis is framed by Ipe (Brazilian walnut), porcelain pavers, espaliered fruit trees, hydrangeas, lavender, ivy, and an extraordinary 35-year-old wisteria. The result is an exceptionally rare sense of privacy, tranquillity, and indoor-outdoor living in Manhattan. A charming cedar-shingled garden studio, complete with its own heating and air conditioning, provides an inspiring space for an artist's studio, private office, or creative retreat. Rarely does a Manhattan residence offer this combination of scale, design, privacy, and extraordinary outdoor space. Set on coveted East 75th Street just moments from Central Park, this is a truly exceptional urban sanctuary-an estate-like retreat above the city. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Duplex - **Beds**: 2 - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 4 - **Stories**: 6 - **Year Built**: 1920 - **Common Charges**: $5,754 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 22, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Washer Hookup - Washer Dryer Allowed - City - Park/Greenbelt ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$36,068 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($1,199,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 6 (Apartment) | 1 | $1,995,000 | June 27, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 6 (Apartment) | 1 | $1,850,000 | January 11, 2024 | City record · 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 - **This home**: $5,995,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,400,000 - **Difference**: +$4,595,000 (+328.2%) - **Comparable sales**: 321 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,040,000 – $1,800,000 Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 97 of these 321 sales (30%), 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. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Lenox Hill instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.3% (302 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 65% (302 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 81 days (301 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 92 days (304 sales) Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. 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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $1,400,000 | 31 | | 2017 | $1,440,000 | 135 | | 2018 | $1,427,500 | 126 | | 2019 | $1,400,000 | 105 | | 2020 | $1,302,500 | 76 | | 2021 | $1,300,000 | 245 | | 2022 | $1,350,000 | 207 | | 2023 | $1,390,000 | 151 | | 2024 | $1,350,000 | 163 | | 2025 | $1,400,000 | 181 | | 2026 YTD | $1,487,500 | 86 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. 2026 is year-to-date. 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. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
