A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 47–49 King 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.
47–49 King Street is a courtyard cooperative formed from two Federal-style street houses and a building behind them. The street-facing pair began as matching brick houses; thirteen shareholders combined the properties into cooperative ownership in 1972. An iron gate between the front houses leads into the interior garden.
The courtyard is central to the property's arrangement. Homes occupy both the street frontage and the quieter interior of the lot, with some doors reached through the shared outdoor space. Duplexes and triplexes fit within the old building envelopes.
Architecture and unit composition
The street houses retain the compact scale of early-nineteenth-century domestic architecture. Brick fronts and modest heights enclose a property that extends back to the rear residential building. The courtyard separates these structures and gives interior-facing rooms an outlook across planted space.
Apartment types include studios, single-level homes, one- and two-bedroom duplexes, and a three-bedroom triplex. Some duplexes measure approximately 750 to 775 square feet, so internal stairs occupy a meaningful portion of their area. Larger floor-through layouts also appear within the cooperative.
Exposed brick, pine flooring and fireplaces survive in selected homes. Some have a balcony or direct access to the courtyard, while others overlook it from above. These features are distributed unevenly across the street houses and rear building.
Building operations
The cooperative is self-managed with a part-time superintendent. Owners share a landscaped courtyard with seating and a barbecue grill. A common laundry facility, bicycle storage and individual storage spaces serve the thirteen homes.
The district designation includes the entire property, with its western lot line forming an edge of the district. Exterior work on the houses and changes affecting the courtyard elevations require attention to that historic setting.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00520-0056) 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Courtyard access and shared work. A ground-level door opening into the garden does not by itself make that outdoor area private. The common courtyard serves several homes and structures, so exclusive-use rights and responsibility for work at an individual entrance are particularly relevant to the garden-facing apartments.

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.
