A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 353–355 West 29th Street 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.
353–355 West 29th Street combines two circa-1852 rowhouses at the western end of the Lamartine Place Historic District. Each was altered later in the nineteenth century, leaving a cooperative whose two addresses carry distinct architectural histories within a shared property.
LPC identifies an 1889 alteration by George B. Pelham at 353 and an 1896 alteration by M. V. B. Ferdon at 355. The district designation in 2009 protected the surviving row on the north side of West 29th Street. The cooperative stands near the point where that low-rise row meets the larger-scale buildings toward Ninth Avenue.
Architecture and unit composition
The facade uses red brick with contrasting pale ornament. LPC describes 353 through its Greek Revival origins and Renaissance Revival alterations; 355 has Renaissance Revival and neo-Grec characteristics. The paired houses occupy a wider frontage than a single rowhouse, while retaining the proportions and materials of nineteenth-century residential construction.
The apartment inventory includes one-bedroom homes around 750 square feet, larger layouts and lower-level duplex accommodation. Some interiors retain fireplaces and other period features. Renovation and subdivision have produced different room arrangements within the two original houses.
Upper apartments require stairs in this walk-up. Lower homes can have a more direct relationship to garden space, while front rooms face south across West 29th Street. The building's place on the north side of the street is relevant to those front exposures.
Building operations
Shared laundry and bicycle storage occupy common areas. The cooperative's Class 2 assessment carries no small-building growth cap, and no building tax abatement is recorded.
The historic-district designation applies to the property. Exterior work on the street facade, windows and other protected elements may require LPC approval, making the compatibility of proposed alterations with the two houses' different architectural details a building-specific consideration.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00753-0008) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.

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. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
