112 East 83rd Street

The building is a handsome ten-story red-brick pre-war, mid-block in scale and detailed in the restrained classical manner of the late 1920s. It sits comfortably among the cooperatives and townhouses of the block, presenting a dignified, residential face rather than a grand avenue statement.

Inside, the 24 residences carry the pre-war hallmarks: high ceilings, hardwood floors, gracious foyers, and the proper separation of entertaining and sleeping space that defines apartments of the era. Layouts range across the building from well-scaled one- and two-bedroom homes to larger configurations, including a top-floor penthouse. Condition varies from preserved-original to renovated, a spread that creates both value opportunities and turnkey premiums. A 1987 building-wide alteration is on record; confirm what it covered and the current condition of the systems in recent engineering reports and board materials.

For a 24-unit building, 112 East 83rd Street is well served: a part-time doorman covers the lobby during key hours and a live-in superintendent maintains the building, with per-floor laundry rooms and storage handling the practical needs. The service package is a part-time doorman, lighter than a full-service tower; confirm current hours with the managing agent. Compare the apartment's current maintenance and any assessments with similar apartments, accounting for the services included.

The building permits pets and pied-à-terre use, two policies that broaden the buyer pool and add resale flexibility. Purchases are subject to cooperative board review; confirm the building's current financing and subletting requirements from its governing documents and application instructions. The package — boutique scale, part-time doorman, prime block, and those two policies — is the building's core appeal.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01511-0065). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

This is a board-approval cooperative, so prepare a complete application and an interview. The reward is a true Carnegie Hill pre-war on a prime block, in a small building with a part-time doorman that permits pets and pied-à-terre use. Weigh floor, exposure, and condition, since apartments range from estate-condition to fully renovated, and confirm the scope of any planned work against the building's alteration policy. The location is the quiet bonus: two blocks from Central Park and the Met, steps from Madison Avenue shopping, Park Avenue, and the 4/5/6 trains. We help buyers underwrite the financials, benchmark the price, and present a clean board package.

The selling case is strong and specific: a 1929 boutique pre-war on a coveted Carnegie Hill block, with a part-time doorman and a pet- and pied-à-terre-friendly board — a combination that appeals to a wide swath of buyers. Renovated homes should lead with their finishes and layout; estate-condition apartments should be marketed honestly to renovation-minded buyers who want pre-war space in a prime building. Pricing belongs against the boutique Carnegie Hill pre-war cooperatives, not the large doorman buildings on the avenues. Check current competing inventory in the building and on nearby blocks before setting the price and timing. We position each home to the buyer the building attracts and manage the board timeline toward a clean closing.
