## Property Overview

Designed by the legendary Robert A.M. Stern, The Chatham stands as one of the Upper East Side’s most distinguished white-glove condominiums, embodying timeless elegance and sophisticated contemporary living. Residence 5A is a grand three bed, three bath home with a versatile den/fourth bedroom, offering an exquisite balance of scale, privacy, and refined detail.

From the moment you enter through a 26-foot gallery clad in gleaming newly refinished herringbone floors, the home reveals its masterful design. The central gallery elegantly divides the private quarters from the entertaining spaces, creating an effortless flow and an exceptional sense of balance.

The expansive living and dining room offers a dramatic backdrop for both formal entertaining and relaxed daily living, enhanced by a wall of oversized windows overlooking the tranquil private gardens and terraces of neighboring townhouses. Just beyond, a set of French doors leads to a sophisticated den/home office/bedroom, a perfectly appointed extension of the living space.

The chef’s eat-in kitchen featuring a stylish banquet is a true statement, finished with custom millwork, striking black granite counters, and an intricately designed slate backsplash. Top-of-the-line Miele appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and abundant storage make this both a culinary and aesthetic masterpiece.

The private wing is highlighted by a sprawling primary suite, a sanctuary of light and calm featuring an expansive custom walk-in closet and a marble-clad bath with double vanities, soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms - one with its own en-suite bath - are thoughtfully positioned down a private corridor, offering both comfort and privacy for family and guests. A dedicated laundry room with additional storage adds to the home’s convenience.

The Chatham is a full-service, white-glove condominium, offering a 24-hour doorman and concierge, resident manager, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an on-site parking garage. Perfectly located in the heart of the Upper East Side, residents enjoy proximity to Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, world-class museums, acclaimed restaurants, and excellent transportation.

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

- **Last sold price**: $4,550,000
- **Median sold price**: $6,000,000
- **Difference**: -$1,450,000 (-24.2%)
- **Last sold, $/ft²**: $2,020
- **Median $/ft²**: $2,234
- **Comparable sales**: 35
- **Sales from**: November 2024 – August 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $4,825,000 – $7,258,786

Based on condo four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill.

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**: 95.4% (33 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 64% (33 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 94 days (33 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 65 days (29 sales)

Based on condo four-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 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 October 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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. 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 1014001009. 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.
