## Property Overview

Rarely available 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home adjacent to Park Avenue. The addition of the coveted powder room, a highly desirable feature, offers significant benefits for those who entertain frequently. Although there are new windows and renovated bathrooms, the original parquet floors, beamed ceilings, entrance foyer, and southern townhouse views evoke a decidedly pre-war feel. The eat-in kitchen/dining area, with its two western windows, could be opened to create an expansive loft-like home. The spacious bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed. Located near Central Park, numerous museums, and the best shops and restaurants, 120 East 79th Street is also convenient to public transportation.
With its distinctive canopied entrance and elegant front door, 120 East 79th Street is an established full-service cooperative. The numerous services and amenities include a full-time doorman, resident manager, central laundry room, fitness room, bike room, common garden, and storage (subject to availability). The prime location between Park and Lexington Avenues enhances the desirability of this 1947 building. Pied-a-terre ownership and pets are permitted There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at 120 East 79TH Street is $705,000, based on 9 sales between October 2021 and December 2025. This home is asking $775,000, $70,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $615,000 and $790,000.

- **Median closed price**: $705,000
- **Middle half**: $615,000 – $790,000
- **Based on**: 9 one-bedroom sales at 120 East 79TH Street
- **Period**: October 2021 – December 2025

Square footage is recorded for only 4 of these 9 sales (44%), 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 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 91.5% of what it originally asked. 86% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 91.5% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 86% of 7 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 116 days (about 17 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 78 days (about 11 weeks)

Across the 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 91.5% of what it originally asked. 86% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 116 days (about 17 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 8 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 78 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 8 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 9 one-bedroom sales at 120 East 79TH Street, October 2021 – December 2025. 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 one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill, 2016 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $695,000 | 39 |
| 2017 | $717,000 | 165 |
| 2018 | $728,750 | 152 |
| 2019 | $699,000 | 145 |
| 2020 | $662,500 | 108 |
| 2021 | $685,000 | 234 |
| 2022 | $718,000 | 229 |
| 2023 | $675,000 | 163 |
| 2024 | $675,000 | 168 |
| 2025 | $675,000 | 174 |
| 2026 | $652,966 | 90 |

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 Lenox Hill 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.
