The Berkeley, 35-25 77th Street

LPC identifies the façade materials as red brick, white brick and stone. The main entrance occupies a shallow recess in the center section. Full-height, three-sided bays articulate the light courts and create rooms with angled window walls.

The interior mix includes one- and two-bedroom homes, with larger combinations also present. Broad foyers can function as a separate dining or work area, depending on the plan, while the step down into a living room gives the main room a distinct boundary. Some bedrooms follow the curved or angled outline of the projecting bays.

Windowed kitchens and bathrooms recur in the inventory. Some kitchens retain an eat-in arrangement, and larger homes can have a separate dining area. Closets are distributed through entrance areas and bedrooms, although renovations have changed storage and circulation in individual homes.

Apartments can face the street, a light court or the shared garden. Those positions produce different outlooks within the same six-story building. A garden-facing room looks into the common interior of the complex, while a street-facing bay has a closer relationship to the façade and its projecting geometry.

Elevators serve the building’s wings, supported by a resident superintendent and maintenance staff. Laundry facilities and storage are part of the common services. The complex also has an event room for residents.

The interior garden is a shared cooperative facility, with planted areas and paths maintained as part of the property. Its operating costs and upkeep belong to the association, along with the exterior brickwork, elevators and common interior spaces.

Electric cooking is a particular feature of this address. Published reporting identified the absence of gas service for stoves, and recent apartment specifications continue to show electric ranges. A buyer planning a kitchen renovation should base the appliance layout on the building’s actual cooking service.

A thirty-six-month assessment beginning February 2026 is described for current resales. The charge should be checked against the apartment’s present maintenance statement and the cooperative’s notice, including whether its scheduled duration has changed — confirm with the managing agent.

Financing: Up to 80%, implying a minimum 20% down payment — confirm with the managing agent.

Pets: Permitted, with size limits described for some resales — confirm with the managing agent.

Subletting: Permitted subject to cooperative approval and current restrictions — confirm with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $585/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 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 2.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 4-01277-0058). 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.

The interior steps are part of the plan. A sunken living room creates a change in level between the entrance area and the main room. For a buyer who needs an entirely level apartment, elevator access to the floor does not resolve that interior condition; the specific plan and existing transitions matter here.
