The dynamic real estate duo, Allison Chiaramonte and Tania Isacoff Friedland at NYC-based luxury brokerage Warburg Realty, have had a stupendous year at 200 East 66th Street’s iconic Manhattan House. With an impressive combined closed sales volume of $15M since January and $34M over the past four years, the team’s sales include 12 closed transactions, two in-contract apartments and one listing that went live on September 23 (asking $4,575,000). With an average closed sale price was $4.15M, their three-bedroom units have sold at an impressive $1M+ higher than Manhattan House’s three-bedroom average. In addition, they have garnered $2,441 per square foot for a three-bedroom, another record price in the building.
Known for its landmark mid-century modernist architecture, the Manhattan House is a fully renovated, 1950s luxury condominium building located in New York City’s Upper East Side at 66th Street and Third Avenue. Friedland believes what attracts buyers to Manhattan House is that “it offers really easy living. Because of its amenities and convenient location in the heart of the Upper East Side, the building appeals to a wide range of buyers. And, there are so many different floor plans so there is a layout for every lifestyle. There’s truly something for everyone.”
Manhattan House is a full-service residential building that has been renovated in stages since 2008. The building offers all the luxury and convenience of city living, including two porte-cochere entrances, a private sculpture garden, and an on-site garage. It also features exclusive access to the rooftop Manhattan Club with both interior and exterior entertainment space, yoga studio, Exhale® Mind Body Spa & Fitness, and children’s playroom designed by Roto Studio. Despite all of these incredible amenities, Chiaramonte comments, “Although it is big, the many nuances of the building allow it to still feel intimate – some floors only have four or five apartments. There is a large and accommodating staff that allows the building function as a well-run micro-city. There is always someone to help you – to hold the door, get you theater tickets or fix your toilet.”
The gracefully proportioned residences have been taken back to their essential framework and re-engineered with modern infrastructure, systems and finishes that enhance functionality without compromising the simplicity of the original aesthetic. Many of the residences offer balconies, fireplaces, entry galleries and windowed kitchens and features large master suites include walk-in closets and radiant heated floors in the master bathrooms. Chiaramonte boasts, “Because the layouts are flexible and the finishes are neutral, the apartments function as blank canvases. We’ve seen a wide variety of styles that work well throughout the building – some apartments are modern, some are mid-century as an ode to the building’s heritage and others are traditional.”
Friedland and Chiaramonte agree, with its “superbly convenient location, amenities and full-service staff, this landmarked building, which has one of the largest private gardens in the city, is an icon with a rich history reminiscent of an important phase of New York history.”
