Seemed to really appreciate the LR/DR; thought that the bathrooms and bedrooms need some work/ They are planning on starting a family and decided the sunken living rooom and powder room step up wouldn’t be ideal with a baby in the near future.
This was the couple in LA who plans to use the apt as a pied a terre; they really liked it and had a lot of questions which I answered to
Home is nice, felt a bit dark and they need a true 3 beds.
Broker previewed and made a video on behalf of clients who are from out of town; clients had additional questions, I replied/ for tax reasons they need to postpone their purchaase until the end of the year or beginning of 2025.
Client will pass on this property for the time being. They found something that she prefers more (a bit more modern and updated esthetics).
She liked it and will come back on Saturday and will also look at 7C/she owns at Park Avenue Court/ she is not realistic in terms of offers
Not for them because they need a true 3 beds
They are a couple and they are interested in the apt; the apt is at the top of their budget. They signed something else
My customer is not ready to pull the plug on this apartment. For her, the apartment needs quite a bit of work. Please keep me posted if there is a price reduction.
Feedback Requested
Couple that lives nearby, they say the knew someone in the building but aren't sure if she still lives here, saw her 1BD. Liked the size, quietness and finishes as well as the rooftop. They feel the apt needs an extensive renovation
Really interested in the combination, wants to understand where a deal can be done on both units / She is not realistic- she would offer $3.7MM for both
Husband liked it more than the wife. She says there's a lot of work to be done /probably too much work for them
Husband came and FT his wife, liked the quietness, undecided on what to do with the 3rd bedroom/dining room. Currently in contract with the sale of his place in the West Village ( I asked and his broker said he doesn't need to sell to buy another place he can do both at the same time). They have a little daughter
2nd time seeing the apartment.The apartment is for the daughter, she doesn't want to do much renovation and overall likes it the way the apartment is now (would want to add a W/D). She mentioned she wish it had better views. Will try understand if it's a parents buying for children situation or if the daughter will be buying on her own. She has 2 little kids. They now have an accepted offer elsewhere
Couple with 3 little kids, liked the building, would do some renovations, liked the area and proximity to schools, currently live at 205 E 92nd /SF: Followed up again and she said it is not for them
Would turn the dining room into a 3rd BD, redo the kitchen and add W/D. Their kids go to school nearby, they like the location and size of the apartment /they now have an accepted offer elsewhere
Couple with a newborn. Seemed interested in coming again with their broker. Asked what kind of wood is in the primary and how expensive it would be to remove it and how much work would have to be done to add central ac /SF: definitely interested/been in touch with broker
Really liked it, will probably be interested in coming back on Friday and in the combination. They have 2 little kids. Would like to bring an architect in. May be interested in 7C and 7A/ Daughter would go to nursery school right there so it is the perfect location for them/has an accepted offer on something else
Liked it, very familiar with the area. Young married couple, didn't mention any kids / it is more work that they are prepared to take on/ it is a NO
In and out very quickly, mentioned that she liked the character of the apartment. Had to run out as they were late to other appointments / went for something bigger and with higher ceilings
Showing did not happen.
Older couple, very familiar with the area. Mentioned they have a friend that lives in the building but supposedly couldn't remember in which unit. Overall liked the layout and size /SF- apt is too small for them
Pregnant wife, came with her mom. Really liked the light and size. Seems like they would do facelift to the kitchen and primary bedroom as well as add the W/D but for the rest they seemed very interested /SF followed up on June 1st/too much work for them
The apartment doesn’t work for them. They would like more light and felt the ceilings were on the low side. They found the hallways rather too hotel-like as well. They are coming from a 7 with 3 full bathroomsthat is on a higher floor on a two way street that has wide open sky views so they didn’t love the apartment enough to sacrifice on the light.
Saw 11 apartments yesterday. Have a little daughter, they would do some renovations. Really liked the size and layout. And location./ SF- ultimately the kitchen layout doesn't work for them
Daughter that came with her mom, doesn't need it to become a 3BD. Client felt it was too dark
Young couple, father is gifting the funds to the daughter. No kids, will get married soon. Boyfriend works in finance. Seemed to love the location and apartment . Would like to know if there are plans to redo the hallways and further work to the building (on top of local law 11) and if we know when local law 11 will start and finish
Said the apartment was charming, has a friend that lives in the building (didn't want to say the name or apartment number). Saw the PH, likes that this apartment has the powder room./ they want a Park View
Second showing. Seemed interested and came to assess the work that they want to do /doesn't work for them in the end
Young married couple seemed to love it but I will need to follow up/ SF: focused on larger apartments
Children co-purchasing with parents so they can live closer to their grandkids. Seemed to like the size of the apartment and obviously the location/SF- not for them
Lives in the area, likes the layout and storage space. Was also seeing a unit at 829 Park Ave today. Looking for a primary
Couple with no kids yet, loves the location and is interested/ have decided to move forward with another property that is a renovated sponsor unit.
Kathy used to live in the building/ buyer seemed to like it a lot and husband will need to come and visit / she was but her husband doesn’t want to go that far uptown she loved the apartment.
Have 2 kids, were also looking during Covid but couldn't find anything they liked. Think the size and layout is functional for them.
Second showing. Came with his father, asked a lot of questions for potential renovations. Didn't seem too interested in combining, would rather turn the dining into a 3BD.
Third showing. Would be a pied a terre, kids would stay there from time to time. Think it's a bit darker than they wished /they are NOT going to go for it
Engaged young couple that lives nearby on 83rd St. Liked the layout, will add a W/D./ too much work for them
Likes it, has questions regarding assessments and future work to be done (hallways). Wants to know what's included in the Maintenance and what kind of wood the panels are in the primary. Does the coop own the two retail units / at the moment he wants to make an offer that would result in a final 2.4MM
She's actually interested in the combo, but likes the building and location. Will definitely want to see 7C as well/ updaated feedback: she is passing for now
Very interested, would buy it for herself but her son would be using it from time to time. I expect to hear back very soon / They are interested and most likely will make an offer next week
Lives full time in the Hamptons, knows the building very well (had a friend living in it). Would use it as a pied a terre. Plans to redo the kitchen. Just started her search
Know the area well. They mentioned that the ceilings weren't as high as they usually like and that they would turn the dining room into a 3BD
ery interested, second showing/followed up again on October 4th, 2024.
Loved the unit. This was their favorite that they have lined up to see. looking for a 2 bedroom and a study/SF: we did follow up twice- still not ready to make an offer- is not going to make an offer/called again on October 4th.
Likes the closet space and overall size. Aside from that they didn't express much interest. After Sofia followed up - it needs work and it is more than what they want to spend
Didn't work for them/no gas was a deal breaker
Previewing for her client. Young couple with 2 kids. Would turn the dining into a 3rd BD, wants to know if a shower could be added to the powder room if the closet that shares wall with it in the 2nd BD can be incorporated in the bathroom Called again on October 4th.
Client knows the building very well. Wants to know if he can put through the wall ac units in every room. Contemplated on making an offer, but decided to focus on something else for now / decided to keep renting for another year
Young couple that lives on 92nd and 3rd Ave. Seemed to really like the size and layout. Need to decide what to do with the formal dining. thought it would take a lot of work to put in through wall AC in the rooms dealing with coop board. It's a beautiful apartment though, they liked the size and details generally. On October 4th called and sent email.
Jenn likes the unit. Her husband likes modern units so may not work for him.
Was a preview from the broker for her clients. Pied a terre buyers, out of town this week but will come back soon and she thinks they would be interested/SF: views/exposures will not work/she will keep it in mind for other customers
Couple with a baby, want to have a second one and use the formal dining as 3rd BD. Seems like the apartment would be a perfect fit for them. They're trying to assess how much renovation work would have to be done, but ultimately determined it was too much work for them.
Live in the area, seems fine with the overall conditions but would fully renovate the kitchen - They will pass on this one. Have seen options they like better in the mid $2mm range, and stay away from these types of regressive and insular co-op boards/SF October 4th called and sent email
Parents relocating from Berkeley, their daughter lives nearby on 86th. Seems like a great fit for them. They want to use the dining room as a den, but don't feel the living room will be large enough for them for both living and dining
Would do a gut renovation have to run some numbers and ideas/SF requested feedback.
Retired couple, currently lives in Greenwich CT, would use it as a pied a terre. Said they don't think work is needed in the apartment. Just started their search. / Saw a bunch of other units and said this one is their 2nd favorite and not their first (which is 170 E 78th 5EF) only because the other one already has an existing 3BD, however they haven't ruled 7A out /SF followed up on October 5th.
2nd showing- Seem to like the unit. Upon following up, they thought the apartment needed more work than they expected tho. encouraged them to come back with a contractor
They like the Art Deco feel of the apartment, however, too small for them. They are looking for a full 3 bedroom - layout didn't quite work for them.
Broker said she sold PHA in the building, knows it very well and seems to know her client very well. They would turn part of the dining room into a BD. Family with 3 kids - they’re going to focus on places with a bit more space for their needs
Interested in seeing the combination, current conditions didn't seem to be a problem.
3rd showing with a contractor, will wait for a quote of the renovation. But seems like an offer will be coming.
Liked it, especially the location. Know the area very well, would keep the dining and not turn it into a 3rd BD/ further feedback/she said the apt is not for them
Early stages of the search, likes the size. Came to determine if the space could work for her family / Prefer to do as less work as possible. Currently focusing on units that are already 3BD and a bit more up (95/96th St).
Were supposed to see the combo but changed their mind. Parents buying for their daughter, they found an apartment they liked that needs a renovation, but seems like they could see 7A working out too to be a 3BD without the need to combine with 7C - leaning towards something else at the moment.
Have 3 kids, they're all in college, live in the area - want to keep looking, They found it a little dark and would require a bit of work.
Second showing/SF followed up on October 5th / decided to offer on another unit that was at a lower price point.
Seems like it would be too much work for them.
Seems to find the layout very functional, would keep the formal dining. Have seen other units in the area and this one seems to compare well - They felt it was too dark. Also, they’d prefer a gas stove. They did really like the size of the kitchen and the formal dining room.
Would do a gut renovation, want to move closer to one of their daughters that lives on E 87th. They have a lot of experience in doing gut renovations (have done 12 of them), wife is an architect. Cash buyer. - For the moment they want to sit this opportunity/renovation out/ SF spoke to them at length on October 5th- they would pay in the low 2's.
Really likes it, has asked if the fireplace could ever be a working one or not? A friend of hers that came to see the apartment also likes it a lot and lives nearby.
Parents came to town, will see a lot of units in the next days. This one was the first one. Seemed to like the opportunities the layout offers. / They especially appreciated the corner window in the Living Room.
If they express additional interest or would like to revisit, they will reach out.
Young married couple, husband grew up in the UES. Started looking recently, liked the size and storage. Layout doesn't work for them.
Their son goes to school on Madison and 78th St, really like the space. Coming back for a second showing.
Second showing in one day, this time with their little son. They seem to really like the apartment
7A alone is too small, but he's flexible on the budget and would like to come check 7A and 7C together. Young couple with 2 kids that go to school at Dalton, currently live downtown, understands that work will have to be done
Has done a lot of renovations, likes the apartment's layout. Will see more units but this one is of her interest

Sofia followed up for feedback.
Came with her partner/her partner owns a coop on 37th and Fifth. They don't need to sell to buy.
Second showing. Came with her son, that will be moving uptown from NoHo, she's interested to bring her husband with her for another showing

Currently live in Colorado, cash buyers, their son lives in the UES in the 60s, their daughter would move in with them and they will turn the formal dining into a BD. Seems a very interested prospect/SF followed up via phone and email several times
Apt doesn't work for them, and they are early in their search.
They live in 11 East 86 and have outdoor space- they are very early in the search but they loved the pre-war feel- they don't love the window ac
Followed up several times for feedback.
Seeing more units in the area (1160 Park). They have been looking for a while, is fine with some renovations. Seems to be more interest in the 1160 Park as his wife was only meeting him for that building / he didn't like the lobby and sunken LR, and commented that a maids room as extra space could have made him consider.
Young couple with a baby, are currently renting on 74th and park. / Needs more work than they're ideally looking to do.

Currently lives in Hong Kong full time, he's here until 11/19 and will make a choice by then on what he wants to buy to move in with his wife
Second showing, came with his wife, they seem to have already made plans regarding how they would organize the space in the apartment. They will need to turn the formal dining in a 3rd BD.
Young couple that plans to start a family, will convert the dining to a 3rd BD right away. Currently renting on 92nd /sent a text to David and called / liked the building and the living space but was less enthusiastic about how the bedrooms laid out
Cash buyer, came with his contractor. Focused on 7A but I also showed him 7C, wants to eventually buy both and combine or keep individually 7C for guests./SF followed up.
Second showing, the wife was there. Her mom was supposed to come but got sick, they would like to come again on 11/26
Doesn't plan to do much work to the apartment, the size and layout seem to work.
Knows the building very well. Actually made an offer years ago on 7C, was very close but didn't want to come up to the seller's asking price. Likes this apartment and is interested.
Came with her sister and mom. Looking for a true 3BD/3BA, 7A by itself was too small so I also showed 7C. They really like the location, but didn't share too much feedback
First showing after the broker previewed the apartment last week. The client seemed to really appreciate the apartment. They have one son and know the area very well.
Seemed very interested, but Sofia followed up and they are no longer interested.
Seemed to be very interested. We followed up and they are interested in coming back a second time.
Previewing for her client. Said it would work for her. Has 2 older sons that would visit/stay from time to time. We spoke to broker and she is going to talk to clients again
Looking mostly for a classic 7, still liked this apartment although it's on the smaller end of what he has seen so far
Currently live in the UWS, her son goes to school in the UES, so they want to relocate. The own in the UWS but don't need to sell in order to buy. Would use the formal dining as a 3rd BD. We are actively following up for feedback.
Previewing for clients, could potentially be a pied a terre but maybe not. Have two small babies (1 and 2 years old). Would turn the formal dining into a maid's room. We spoke with the broker and the ceilings are a bit too low and they don't want to turn the dining into the third bedroom.
Came without his wife, took a lot of notes but said she's the decision maker. They live around the corner on 90th. We have called and emailed for feedback.
Currently lives downtown. Would move in with her daughter. Is an interior designer. Seemed to really like it. Sofia spoke with broker, they may make an offer.
Third showing. Older couple relocating from Berkeley CA. Was the first time the wife saw the apartment, she liked it a took measurements. She did a lot of interior design work in the past. Were touring 2 more apartments today and make a decision. We called, emailed and texted and they are really considering it; wants to make the third bedroom a den.
Is more looking for a 3BD with formal dining. Liked the apartment and has done renovations before but size might be an issue for him. We have been following up.
Liked it, bigger than the other units they've seen so far. Could be interested in coming again.
Moving from a boutique building in SoHo (30units with no doorman). Need the 2BD for their son that comes visit from time to time. Liked the size. Husband was a GC for 30 years. Fred asked for financials and an offer should be coming.
Would be just for himself. Plans to turn the 2nd BD into an office/den and open it up to the living room. He ended up making an offer on another property; we'd like to see how that will go first.
Will need to use the formal dining as a 3rd BD. Liked it a lot, seems that it could work well for them. Sofia followed up but they are in the beginning of their search.
Initially came for 7A, ended up also wanting to see 7BC. Open to a renovation, also toured units in the $4MM range.
Currently lives in CT with his wife. Has 3 kids but they all live on their own in the city. Lived in the building in the late 80s early 90s, apartment 2E. Also wanted to see 7C but not interested in the combination, it would be too much work. Plans to relocate to NYC to be closer to his kids.
Seemed to really love it for their family; they are interested in purchasing 7A and 7BC for their sister; Eventually as they expand their family, they would need both apartments. In the end 7A was too small and 7ABC was too big.
Has done renovations before. Understands the vision and opportunity. Wants to think about it and decide how much work she's willing to do
Family of 5, they currently live in the Flatiron, kids go to school in the UES that's why they're looking to move in this location.

Currently live in Riverdale, lived in the UES 15 years ago. Their kids moved out from home. Want to discuss more internally.
