A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 40 West 76th 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.
40 West 76th Street is a late-nineteenth-century rowhouse divided into condominium homes, from compact studios to a combined garden triplex. George M. Walgrove designed the brownstone house for Leonard Beeckman in 1887–1889. It stands on the short residential block between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue.
The original stoop has particular historical value. In 2007, Community Board 7’s landmarks discussion cited it as a surviving model for restoring another stoop nearby. The condominium’s street entrance still expresses the building’s townhouse origins, while its apartments have been subdivided and combined over time.
Architecture and unit composition
The apartment inventory includes studios, one-bedroom homes with separate dining areas, duplexes and a larger triplex formed by combining three condominium units. That combined home connects a rear garden with living space on several levels.
Selected interiors contain exposed brick, decorative fireplaces and high ceilings. Some living rooms are sunken, while other homes use internal spiral stairs. Upper apartments can have private roof terraces; the rear garden belongs to a lower-level configuration. These outdoor spaces are attached to individual homes.
The smallest apartments offer approximately 400 square feet, while the larger combined residence has traded with more than 1,800 square feet attributed to it.
Building operations
The building is a walk-up with common laundry. Some apartments also contain their own washer and dryer. There is no staffed lobby or elevator to spread across the small ownership group.
The Department of Finance identifies the condominium as The Clos 76 Condominium. The residential lots fall in Tax Class 2, so the building’s townhouse scale does not bring the assessment-growth limits of Class 2C.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01128-7502; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot).

What to know if you’re buying at 40 West 76th Street
A combined home may involve several condominium interests. The triplex was assembled from three units, so its physical floor plan and the package of tax lots conveyed are separate parts of the purchase. The contract needs to include each component that makes up the marketed residence.

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.
