133 E 30Th St

A five-story, small-scale prewar cooperative constructed in 1900, this boutique elevator building occupies a tree-lined block on the Kips Bay / Murray Hill edge of Manhattan. Units are principally one- and two-bedroom layouts with classic prewar proportions: high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moldings, and tall sash windows that bring abundant natural light. Interiors commonly feature windowed kitchens with breakfast bars or islands, formal dining areas or eat-in kitchens, recessed lighting, and generous built-in storage; several apartments have been comprehensively renovated with modern appliances and stone counters while retaining historic details like chair rails and decorative moldings. Shared amenities are modest and practical: a recently refreshed laundry room, bicycle storage, common storage/lockers, a live-in or part-time super, and a roof deck with private outdoor niches for some units. Ownership policies are flexible for a co-op—guarantors, co-purchasing, pieds-a-terre and a measured sublet program are generally permitted, and pet policies vary by unit/board approval. The building’s low-maintenance structure and periodic capital upgrades (boiler and elevator improvements noted) support a well-maintained, community-oriented residence within walking distance of grocery options, cafés, restaurants, and multiple subway lines (6, N/R/W), offering classic Manhattan neighborhood living with a neighborhood convenience focus.
