## Property Overview

Perched on the 18th floor above Lenox Hill, one of the Upper East Side's most coveted areas, this exceptional home offers expansive outdoor space and sweeping skyline views. Originally two separate apartments, the A and B lines were thoughtfully combined into a spacious three-bedroom residence with triple exposures. A gut renovation transformed the residence with a newly appointed kitchen, two beautiful bathrooms, upgraded electrical, and the addition of an in-unit washer/dryer.

The windowed chef's kitchen is outfitted with Smallbone cabinetry, custom storage, and a double sink, alongside a Bertazzoni range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, Viking microwave, and Miele dishwasher. One of two wood-burning fireplaces is seamlessly integrated into the dining area.

The second fireplace anchors the living room, where northwest exposures frame unobstructed skyline and sunset views. Exit onto the wraparound terrace, an extraordinary luxury that lets you take in both sunrise and sunset from your own home.

The bedroom wing is privately positioned away from the entertaining areas. The primary suite opens onto the outdoor space and includes a five-fixture bathroom. The secondary bedroom features custom millwork and built-in bookshelves by Little Wolf. The third room is a windowed home office with a built-in Italian-made Murphy bed, offering flexibility as a guest room or optional third bedroom.

205 East 78th Street is a classic Art Deco cooperative. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike room, and rentable private storage.

Building highlights include:
- Maintenance includes electricity and gas
- Subletting permitted for up to two years total, with one-year renewals
- Pied-à-terre, co-purchasing, and guarantors permitted

Located moments from Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madison Avenue shopping, and multiple transportation options, the location places the best of the Upper East Side within easy reach.

Additional notes:
- Capital assessment of $932/month through December 2026
- 2% flip tax (or $20 per share, whichever is greater)

Showing the 40 most recent of 57 recorded sales in this period.

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**: $2,250,000
- **Median sold price**: $2,432,500
- **Difference**: -$182,500 (-7.5%)
- **Comparable sales**: 85
- **Sales from**: September 2024 – July 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $1,975,000 – $3,200,000

Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side.

Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 85 sales (22%), 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.

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

- **Sale-to-list price**: 96.3% (74 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 73% (74 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 59 days (79 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 104 days (79 sales)

Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side 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.

Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. 2026 is year-to-date.

Sales data through August 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.
