## Property Overview

Set on the 16th floor of Continental Towers, this renovated, move-in-ready corner residence offers approximately 1,000 square feet, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a west-facing private balcony on the Upper East Side. Two-bedroom homes with outdoor space rarely come to market in the building, and this one adds an in-unit washer/dryer, a split-bedroom layout and natural light from the west and north.

The entry foyer, with a coat closet, opens to a 26-foot living and dining room that runs west to the balcony and city views beyond. Custom wall moldings and designer sconces add architectural detail, and Brazilian Cumaru hardwood floors continue throughout the home. Just off the living area, the windowed kitchen is fitted with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, a wine refrigerator and granite countertops, with ample counter space.

The bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the home. The king-size primary suite occupies its own wing, with a fully outfitted custom walk-in closet, a dedicated workspace and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and built-in bench. On the other side, the second bedroom carries the wall moldings and city views through and has its own custom closet. Beside it, the windowed second bathroom includes a bathtub, a linen closet and a European-inspired vanity with a porcelain top and chrome legs.

Continental Towers is a well-run, full-service condominium with a live-in superintendent, a 24-hour doorman and concierge, and a fitness center reserved for residents. Additional amenities include an on-site parking garage, a lobby-level laundry room and a landscaped roof deck.

A Whole Foods Market is expected to open on the building's ground floor. Shopping, dining, parks and museums are close by, and the Second Avenue subway's Q train stops at 72nd and 86th Streets.

 Real Estate Tax: Estimated at $1,130 for an owner-occupant with the NYC Co-op/Condo Abatement.

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 Continental Towers

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |

| 2025 | $1,400/ft² | 10 |
| 2026 YTD | $1,397/ft² | 9 |

Based on recorded sales at Continental Towers. 2026 is year-to-date.

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 September 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.
