525 East 82nd Street — The Mansion House — is a postwar Yorkville cooperative steps from Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, and the East River Promenade, designed by the prolific apartment architect Philip Birnbaum. It offers full-service living, an attached garage, and river-adjacent quiet at Yorkville pricing well below the corridors to the west — the kind of value proposition that has long defined the far-eastern Upper East Side.
The building's appeal is fundamentally about location and services at accessible pricing. Sitting near East End Avenue by Carl Schurz Park, it delivers a green, residential, riverside setting with the operational package of a full-service postwar building — attached garage, staffed lobby, laundry, storage, and a live-in superintendent — without the premium of the prewar co-ops closer to the Park. For buyers who want a quiet Yorkville base with parking on-site, The Mansion House is a structural fit.
Its Birnbaum pedigree is part of the story. Philip Birnbaum designed hundreds of New York apartment buildings, and the name "The Mansion House" traces to the architect himself — a reminder that even the workhorse postwar stock of Yorkville carries a design authorship worth knowing.
Architecture and unit composition
The Mansion House is a postwar cooperative of roughly 12–13 stories designed by Philip Birnbaum and completed in 1962, then converted to cooperative ownership in 1984. The white-brick modernist facade features a canopied doorman entrance, consistent fenestration, discreet through-wall air conditioning, sidewalk landscaping, and an attached garage. Some apartments include private balconies, and select lines capture East River and Carl Schurz Park views.
Source records differ on unit and floor counts — figures range from roughly 79 units over 13 stories to about 94–95 original units over 12 stories plus a penthouse, with some units combined over time. The apartment mix runs from one-bedrooms through larger combined units, with the largest combinations reaching three bedrooms and beyond.
Building operations
The Mansion House operates as a full-service cooperative with a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, porters, elevator, attached garage, central laundry room, bike room, and private storage. It does not have a gym or roof deck. The attached garage is a genuine differentiator on the corridor.
Financing is permitted up to 80% (20% minimum down payment). Pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and gifting are permitted. Flip tax, subletting terms, guarantor policy, and specific board financial requirements are not published in accessible sources and should be confirmed against the offering plan and managing agent at offer stage. As with any cooperative, board approval and a board interview are required.
Recent sales
The Mansion House trades as a full-service postwar Yorkville cooperative, with value expressed on a per-room and per-share basis. Pricing reflects the far-eastern Upper East Side value equation: one-bedrooms in the mid six figures, two-bedrooms into the high six figures to low seven figures, and larger combined units reaching into the low millions — with river and park exposure, balconies, and the attached garage driving premium within the building. As with any cooperative, per-room value is best read within a unit's specific line, floor, exposure, and condition rather than a single building average.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01579-0015) 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
Location and services at Yorkville value. Full-service living beside Carl Schurz Park and the East River, at pricing below the corridors to the west.
The attached garage is a real differentiator. On-site parking is scarce and valuable in this pocket of the Upper East Side.
Confirm the co-op policy fine print. Flip tax, subletting terms, and board financial requirements should be verified against the offering plan and managing agent at offer stage.
Financing is comparatively flexible. Up to 80% financing (20% down); pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and gifting are permitted.
Board approval and a board interview are required. Build the cooperative timeline into your plan.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the setting. Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, and a quiet residential corridor are the marketing story, along with river-facing exposure and the attached garage.
Highlight parking and outdoor space. The attached garage and balconied lines are scarce features that drive value.
Price against the closest match. Line, floor, exposure, balcony, and renovation level drive per-room variation.
Prepare a clean board package. Well-documented financials and realistic board guidance shorten the path to approval.
