## Property Overview

A sophisticated, fully renovated three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence at The Chatham, with interiors by acclaimed Studio Todd Raymond and architecture by Christian Ricci Architecture . Combining exceptional craftsmanship with a refined material palette, this sun-filled corner home offers a level of finish rarely found in a turnkey Upper East Side residence.

The gracious entry and gallery, wrapped in textured silk wallcovering, establish the tone of the home and lead to a bright corner living room with abundant natural light. Throughout the residence, wide-plank white oak floors are complemented by custom white American oak millwork, bespoke plaster crown moldings and beautifully considered architectural details, creating an atmosphere that is warm, tailored and quietly luxurious.

The kitchen is both striking and exceptionally refined, with dramatic Taj Mahal stone paired with back-painted glass cabinetry framed in polished nickel. A suite of Gaggenau appliances is seamlessly integrated into the design, creating a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautifully executed.

The private quarters comprise three generously proportioned bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms. The primary suite features two walk-in closets, while fully built-out custom closets provide exceptional storage throughout the residence. Dornbracht plumbing fixtures further underscore the quality and attention to detail found throughout the renovation.

Additional conveniences include an in-residence washer and dryer.

Designed by Todd Raymond Studios as a complete interior rather than simply a renovation, the residence is distinguished by its extraordinary craftsmanship, custom detailing and thoughtful use of materials. The result is an elegant and highly livable home that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Located at The Chatham, 181 East 65th Street, one of the Upper East Side's premier full-service condominiums, the residence offers the privacy and flexibility of condominium ownership together with an exceptional level of service in the heart of the Upper East Side.

Storage is available for purchase.

Based on three-bedroom sales at The Chatham 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 price per square foot, sales at The Chatham

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $2,122/ft² | 7 |
| 2019 | $2,309/ft² | 6 |
| 2020 | $1,838/ft² | 5 |
| 2021 | $2,431/ft² | 6 |
| 2023 | $2,367/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2024 | $2,388/ft² | 5 |

Based on recorded sales at The Chatham.

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sales data through January 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.
