A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Blair House would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Midtown East condominiums are rarer than the corridor's deep co-op stock, which makes a building like Blair House useful for buyers who want condo ownership — fast closings, pied-à-terre and investment latitude, foreign-buyer friendliness — in a part of the city dominated by cooperatives. At the corner of East 58th Street and Third Avenue, near the Sutton Place edge, Blair House is a postwar building completed in 1963 and converted to condominium ownership in 1986, offering that flexibility at a manageable, mid-century scale.
The location is one of Midtown East's quieter strengths: a residential corner within easy reach of the Midtown office core, Bloomingdale's and the East 59th Street retail spine, the Sutton and Beekman enclaves, and the East Side's transit, including the nearby Lexington Avenue and 59th Street lines. For a buyer who wants a doorman condominium in this part of town without the price of a new-development tower, Blair House is a logical option.
Architecture and unit composition
Blair House is a 20-story postwar building of roughly 115 apartments, with the restrained mid-century massing and International Style influence typical of its 1963 vintage. Its condominium conversion in 1986 gave the building the ownership structure and flexibility of a condo while retaining the practical floor plans and proportions of postwar construction.
The unit composition runs the postwar range, and as a building of moderate scale, Blair House sees regular but not constant turnover. Floor, exposure, and renovation state drive most of the variation among apartments, with higher floors carrying better light and longer views.
Building operations
Blair House operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman, concierge, elevator service, on-site laundry, bicycle storage, and a landscaped common roof deck. Pets are permitted upon approval. The amenity package and service level are well-suited to a Midtown East household that wants a doorman building with outdoor common space.
Carrying costs on a condominium are expressed as common charges plus separately billed real estate taxes. As with any condo, buyers should review current house rules and any amendments, the building's financials, reserves, and any assessment or capital-project history during due diligence. The Roebling Research Library maintains current building materials for clients.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Recent sales
Because Blair House is an approximately 115-unit condominium, individual apartments come to market on a regular cadence across price points. As a condo, value is read on a price-per-square-foot basis, with floor, exposure, layout, and renovation state driving the variation, and higher-floor view apartments commanding premiums. Condo flexibility — fast closings, pied-à-terre and investment use, foreign buyers — tends to broaden the buyer pool relative to the corridor's co-op-heavy inventory. Our sales view for the building reflects recorded transfers as they post.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,183/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
You're buying a condominium in a co-op-heavy corridor. There is no co-op board admission; purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process. Confirm foreign, pied-à-terre, investment and subletting rules in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules.
Buy the floor and the view. Higher-floor apartments with better light and longer outlooks command the premiums; benchmark price per square foot against floor, exposure, and condition.
Do conversion-building diligence. Review the condominium's financials, reserves, and any assessment or capital-project history, and confirm common charges and what they cover.
Run the mansion tax and price-per-foot math. Use the Mansion Tax Calculator and weigh the full monthly carry.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with condo flexibility and services. Condo ownership, fast closings, the doorman and concierge, and the roof deck are the rational reasons buyers choose this building over the area's co-ops.
Price on square footage, floor, and condition. Benchmark against the building's own sales and the best comparable Midtown East condo inventory, adjusting for exposure and renovation state.
Use condo speed as a selling point. The faster, more flexible condo process and the absence of a co-op board interview widen the qualified-buyer pool.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent.
