The architecturally significant home is wrapped in not one, but two incredible terraces and the stunning City views surround the home no matter the time of day or season of the year.

 One enters the home from your very own private landing. The sprawling upper floor encompasses the main living space of the apartment; the large living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, high beamed ceilings, and two entrances to the south facing terrace. The formal dining room with its own wood-burning fireplace sits on the opposite side of the home and has entrance to the enormous northern facing terrace: the perfect landscape for dining al fresco, entertaining on a grand scale, creating a garden paradise, or simply enjoying a morning cup of coffee or evening stargazing. The adjacent eat-in windowed chef's kitchen is replete with stainless steel counter tops, loads of cabinets, appliances by Samsung and Subzero, and a stacked Frigidaire washer/dryer.

 The primary bedroom suit is tucked away in its own wing and has two large custom-fitted closets and a sumptuous five-piece marble bath with oversized jacuzzi tub. Completing the upper floor is an additional den or library.

 The lower-level of the home comprises two sizable guest rooms and a large jack-and-jill designer bathroom. Both bedrooms are sun-flooded from southern exposures and have wonderful closet space. Additionally, there is a separate wine closet and an entrance to the lower bedroom wing from the elevator landing.

 Redwood and hardwood floors throughout, thru-wall AC, several custom closets including an oversized walk-in, tasteful built-ins, and unique skylights throughout complete this rare offering.

 Built in 1929 and converted to cooperative in 1985, 225 East 79th Street is an elegant full service prewar cooperative with 17 stories and 80 units. The services include a live-in Resident Manager, full-time door staff, and both bike and private storage rooms. Pied a terres and pets permitted.

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 three-bedroom sales in Yorkville is $1,847,500, based on 51 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $2,895,000, $1,047,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,550,002 and $2,450,000.

- **Median closed price**: $1,847,500
- **Middle half**: $1,550,002 – $2,450,000
- **Based on**: 51 co-op three-bedroom sales in Yorkville
- **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026

Square footage is recorded for only 28 of these 51 sales (55%), 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 49 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.1% of what it originally asked. 61% 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 Yorkville instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 97.1% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 61% of 49 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 53 days (about 8 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 97 days (about 14 weeks)

Across the 49 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.1% of what it originally asked. 61% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 53 days (about 8 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 47 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 97 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 49 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 51 co-op three-bedroom sales in Yorkville, 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 Yorkville, 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 | $2,100,000 | 11 |
| 2018 | $2,260,000 | 16 |
| 2019 | $1,737,500 | 14 |
| 2021 | $1,750,000 | 32 |
| 2022 | $1,700,000 | 21 |
| 2023 | $1,637,500 | 16 |
| 2024 | $1,960,000 | 20 |
| 2025 | $1,875,000 | 28 |
| 2026 | $1,715,000 | 19 |

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 Yorkville 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.
