From the iconic Grand Army Plaza to the architectural grandeur of The Plaza Hotel, the vistas are nothing short of cinematic-daylight pours in from all directions, and by night, the city glows in a spectacular display. Spanning approximately 7,000 square feet, this distinguished high-floor simplex features three remarkable terraces facing west, south, and north, each offering a rare sense of openness and privacy atop one of New York's most storied addresses. An abundance of natural light, soaring proportions, and the unrivaled scale of this residence lay the foundation for an exceptionally elegant and personalized home.

This sunlit expanse opens directly to the northern and western terraces, each framing unobstructed views of Central Park. Meanwhile, the southern portion of the residence retains its previously defined living areas, offering an intriguing blend of past elegance and future possibility. The previous layout showcased five expansive entertaining rooms-all oriented toward the park-including a grand corner living room, a formal dining room, a richly appointed library with wet bar, and a sun-drenched den that accessed both larger terraces. Numerous bedrooms, dressing rooms, and eight bathrooms offered versatility and scale, perfectly accommodating both grand entertaining and intimate living. There are two staff rooms on the 7th and 22nd floors that convey with the apartment. This is a rare opportunity to create a showplace residence within one of Manhattan's most prestigious pre-war cooperatives.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $12,000,000 - **Median sold price**: $13,750,000 - **Difference**: -$1,750,000 (-12.7%) - **Comparable sales**: 4 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – March 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $10,631,250 – $15,000,000 Based on co-op six-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 2 of these 4 sales (50%), 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**: 90% (3 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 100% (3 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 620 days (3 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 118 days (3 sales) Based on co-op six-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. Sales data through June 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.
