This corner unit, Classic 7 home, has been owned and lovingly maintained by the same family for nearly 50 years.  Grand and elegant, this impressive apartment is one of the most desirable lines in the building and offers bright, open city views from the 16th floor.     A formal entry foyer opens into a gracious prewar layout, with side-by-side living and dining rooms that have the potential to be combined, making an expansive great room with 4 oversized windows spanning its width.  Classic prewar details, including hardwood herringbone floors and high, beamed ceilings, add timeless elegance throughout.  The windowed eat-in-kitchen is the combination of the original maids room with the original kitchen, and features stainless steel appliances, including a vented stove, plentiful storage, and a full-sized washer and vented dryer.   Incredibly large by NYC standards, the kitchen is every home cook's dream with tons of space and even a designated pantry.  While perfectly functional in its current state, you could also renovate to create a true chef's kitchen customized to your needs.    The three bedrooms are located in a separate wing of the apartment, making them particularly quiet and private from the living areas.  The primary bedroom boasts a very large walk-in closet, dual exposures facing East and North and spectacular surprise view all the way to the East River and Triborough bridge.  The ensuite bathroom is appointed with a standing shower and a pedestal sink.  Currently shared with the second bedroom, it could easily be closed off and made private to the primary bedroom.   The second bedroom is adjacent to the primary bedroom and is just as large as the primary bedroom, features two closets, and open, northern city views.  Across the hall with bright and quiet southern exposures, is the third bedroom.  The second full bathroom is adjacent to the third bedroom and is appointed with a 6-foot cast iron tub and pedestal sink.  Both bathrooms are in good (mostly) original condition.   12 West 96th Street is a beautifully maintained building with a friendly and attentive staff, including a live-in superintendent and 24-hour elevator operator - one of the few remaining in New York City.  Building amenities including private storage and bike storage.  Homeowners love having Central Park just outside their door and easy access to multiple train lines and buses.  Pets are welcome!  There is currently an assessment in the amount of $231.88/month through 3/2030 to pay for elevator modernization and to replenish the reserve fund. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 3 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 7 - **Sqft**: 2,175 sqft - **Stories**: 17 - **Year Built**: 1930 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,193 - **Common Charges**: $5,645 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Jan 20, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 230 Days ### Residence Features - Building Washer Dryer Install Allowed - Common On Floor - Common Area - In Unit - Entrance Foyer - Eat-in Kitchen - Walk-In Closet(s) - Dryer - Dishwasher - Refrigerator - Washer - Hardwood - City ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 11 apartments at 12 West 96th Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,075,000 in June 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper West Side is $2,262,500, based on 158 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $2,595,000, $332,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,720,000 and $2,950,000. - **Median closed price**: $2,262,500 - **Middle half**: $1,720,000 – $2,950,000 - **Based on**: 158 co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper West Side - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 49 of these 158 sales (31%), 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 145 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.7% of what it originally asked. 66% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Upper West Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96.7% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 66% of 145 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 74 days (about 11 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 91 days (about 13 weeks) Across the 145 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.7% of what it originally asked. 66% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 74 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 150 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 91 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 152 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 158 co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper West Side, September 2024 – June 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 three-bedroom sales in Upper West Side, 2017 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $2,300,000 | 63 | | 2018 | $2,410,000 | 54 | | 2019 | $2,450,000 | 69 | | 2020 | $1,950,100 | 36 | | 2021 | $2,130,000 | 91 | | 2022 | $2,462,500 | 98 | | 2023 | $2,087,500 | 80 | | 2024 | $2,420,000 | 78 | | 2025 | $2,400,000 | 85 | | 2026 | $2,250,000 | 51 | 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 Upper West Side 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.
