117 E 37Th St

A ten-story cooperative built in 1954, this boutique Murray Hill building contains 14 primarily alcove studio residences arranged around elevator-served hallways. The masonry façade and modest midcentury proportions fit the surrounding brownstone streetscape; public corridors and recently refreshed hallways reflect incremental maintenance and traditional co-op governance. Units typically feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, separate sleeping alcoves, abundant closets including walk-in options, and windowed kitchens and baths in varying states of renovation. Shared facilities concentrate on practical conveniences: a furnished roof deck with skyline views, a landscaped backyard garden, central laundry in the building, rentable storage lockers, and a live-in superintendent who manages day-to-day needs. Policies are permissive for a co-op: pets are allowed, co-purchasing and pied-à‑terre ownership are permitted, and subletting is possible after a brief residency period; maintenance covers heat and hot water with electricity charged in bulk. Street-level access places the building on a quiet, tree-lined block between Park and Lexington Avenues, a short walk to Grand Central and multiple subway lines, positioning it within a dense mix of restaurants, markets, and neighborhood parks.
