135 E 39Th St

Built in 1930, this intimate six-story cooperative exemplifies prewar Art Deco character at a human scale. The 29-unit building presents masonry façade details and an entrance leading to a renovated lobby and elevator; common systems include a live-in superintendent and an app-controlled/virtual entry setup. Residences range from studios and one-bedrooms to larger four-bedroom layouts; typical interior traits are high ceilings, original casement windows, crown and picture moldings, hardwood and parquet floors, generous foyers and built-in storage. Kitchens and baths vary by unit — many retain period features while others have been modernized with stone counters and stainless appliances. Shared amenities are modest but well kept: a planted English-style garden and courtyard, furnished terrace, central laundry and bicycle/storage rooms. The co-op’s policies are buyer-friendly relative to peers: pied-a-terre purchases, subletting and pets are generally permitted with board approval. Located in Murray Hill/Midtown East, the building is a short walk from Grand Central and multiple subway and commuter rail lines, surrounded by shops, groceries and cultural landmarks, offering a balanced urban lifestyle that blends historic detailing with everyday conveniences.
