The Stimson House is a 13-story postwar cooperative built in 1955, occupying a tree-lined Murray Hill block between Park and Lexington Avenues in Midtown Manhattan. The masonry façade and modest scale sit comfortably among nearby townhouses and the Murray Hill Historic District, offering skyline glimpses including the Chrysler Building. Apartment types range from studios to three-bedroom layouts; many residences feature renovated kitchens, enlarged openings to dining alcoves, hardwood or parquet floors, and abundant customized closet storage. Building services include a part-time doorman (daily, 11:00am–7:00pm), a live-in superintendent, two elevators and on-site central laundry. Financially conservative governance is reflected in full owner-occupancy, a self-liquidating mortgage, strong reserves, and restrictions against subletting, pied-à-terre use, guarantors and co-purchasers; financing up to 75% is commonly allowed. Pets are permitted with size limits (typically up to 20 lbs). There is limited private outdoor space attached to some units but no common exterior amenities. The lobby and entrance foyer present a residential, low-traffic feel; proximity to Grand Central, the #6 subway, Bryant Park, cultural institutions and dense neighborhood retail provides easy commuting and everyday conveniences.
