This exceptional duplex is defined by its dramatic double-height living room, where soaring 13-foot ceilings and oversized multi-pane windows create extraordinary scale and light. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, while elegant iron-railed stairs rise to the private level above — a striking architectural focal point equally suited to intimate evenings or grand entertaining. The residence has undergone a comprehensive and thoughtful renovation, seamlessly blending historic character with modern comfort. The windowed kitchen has been redesigned with clean, tailored finishes that respect the building’s pre-war integrity. All windows have been replaced, and a newly installed HVAC system has been discreetly integrated through custom millwork, ensuring contemporary performance without disrupting architectural authenticity. The reconfigured floor plan enhances flow while preserving proportion and volume. Upstairs, the bedroom level offers privacy and refinement, including a custom dressing area and a beautifully appointed windowed bath. Throughout the home, meticulous detailing and material selection reflect a carefully considered approach to both form and function. The Morgan Studios is celebrated for its distinctive red-brick façade and signature double-height windows — hallmarks of its architectural pedigree. Residents enjoy full-service amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator, private storage, and laundry. The boutique scale of the cooperative provides a sense of discretion and community rarely found in larger buildings. Ideally positioned moments from Madison Avenue, Central Park, and the Upper East Side’s cultural institutions and dining destinations, this home offers both tranquility and proximity. Pied-à-terres, pets, and in unit washer/dryer permitted with board approval. There is an annual capital assessment equal to one month’s maintenance. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 1 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 3 - **Stories**: 10 - **Year Built**: 1928 - **Common Charges**: $4,175 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Mar 25, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 172 Days ### Residence Features - Building Washer Dryer Install Allowed - Common On Floor - Common Area - Built-in Features - High Ceilings - Dishwasher - Hardwood ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 5 apartments at 169 East 78th Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,550,000 in May 2026. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5D (Apartment) | 2 | — | $1,550,000 | — | May 12, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 2D (Apartment) | 2 | 1,200 | $1,900,000 | $1,583/ft² | June 11, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 2A/3A (Apartment) | — | — | $1,685,000 | — | February 29, 2024 | City record | | 4C (Apartment) | — | — | $1,650,000 | — | October 12, 2023 | City record | | 3-D (Apartment) | 1 | — | $650,000 | — | March 25, 2022 | City record · MLS | 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 The median closed price for comparable co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper East Side is $655,000, based on 181 sales between September 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $1,495,000, $840,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $570,000 and $768,000. - **Median closed price**: $655,000 - **Middle half**: $570,000 – $768,000 - **Based on**: 181 co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper East Side - **Period**: September 2024 – July 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 54 of these 181 sales (30%), 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 165 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.2% 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 East Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 66% of 165 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 77 days (about 11 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 91 days (about 13 weeks) Across the 165 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.2% of what it originally asked. 66% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 77 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 171 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 91 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 171 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 181 co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper East Side, September 2024 – July 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 one-bedroom sales in Upper East Side, 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 | $762,000 | 12 | | 2017 | $678,176 | 106 | | 2018 | $690,000 | 101 | | 2019 | $675,000 | 77 | | 2020 | $630,000 | 55 | | 2021 | $650,000 | 144 | | 2022 | $653,750 | 128 | | 2023 | $649,500 | 100 | | 2024 | $671,250 | 106 | | 2025 | $654,000 | 97 | | 2026 | $652,500 | 50 | 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 East 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.
