71 E 77Th St

71 East 77th Street is an 11-story, 38-unit neo-Tudor cooperative completed in 1928 and designed by Caughey & Evans. The limestone-and-brick façade, parapet roofline and historic carved ornamentation present a compact, storybook presence on a tree-lined Upper East Side block between Park and Madison Avenues. Residences are primarily two-bedroom configurations and range from intimate one-bedroom and pied-à-terre plans to expansive duplex penthouses with large terraces; many units retain prewar details such as beamed or double-height ceilings, oversized leaded casement windows, built-in bookcases and decorative fireplaces. Interiors commonly include formal entry foyers and dining areas, generous living rooms suited for entertaining, and windowed kitchens and baths that have been updated while preserving historic character. The cooperative operates as a full-service, white-glove building with a coffered-ceiling lobby, 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, porter staff, on-site laundry room, bicycle room and individual storage. Building policies are buyer-friendly for this class: pets and pied-à-terres are permitted, 50% financing is allowed, and washers/dryers may be installed with board approval. Maintenance and conveniences include mail delivery to the door and occasional planned capital work; a modest flip tax applies. Located steps from Central Park, Museum Mile, luxury shopping and notable hotels and restaurants, the building provides a residential, culturally rich Upper East Side lifestyle.
