135 E 83Rd St

A 16-story, midcentury co-op on the Upper East Side originally completed in 1960–1961, the building contains roughly sixty units configured primarily as two- and three-bedroom residences and several convertible junior-four layouts. Its exterior reads as a restrained postwar apartment block set on a townhouse-lined residential avenue; common spaces have been refreshed in recent years with updated lobby and corridor finishes. Units typically feature high ceilings, abundant closets including multiple walk-ins in larger homes, formal dining galleries or separate dining rooms, entrance foyers, and cook’s kitchens with granite counters or custom wood cabinetry. Many apartments were renovated with hardwood or stone floors, crown moldings, built-ins, and in-unit washer/dryers or vented laundry where upgraded; some homes include en-suite baths, powder rooms, and private terraces. The co-op offers full-time doorman service, a live‑in resident manager/superintendent, central laundry, bike storage, and an on-site garage. Building policies are owner-focused: pied-a-terre ownership, subletting, and guarantors are restricted, financing is commonly permitted up to 65%, and one pet per apartment is allowed. Located at the nexus of Lexington Avenue and East 83rd Street, the address places residents steps from Central Park, museums, boutique shopping, restaurants, and multiple subway lines, supporting an urban, family-oriented Upper East Side lifestyle.
