136 E 64Th St

An elegant prewar cooperative constructed in 1928, this 11-story, limited‑scale building contains classic two- and three-bedroom residence layouts across roughly 61–62 units. Designed by George F. Pelham, the limestone-and-brick façade and a historically detailed, grand lobby evoke traditional Upper East Side architecture. Interiors feature prewar proportions such as high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, original hardwood floors, marble mantles and working wood-burning fireplaces; many apartments include semi-private elevator landings, large entry foyers, formal dining rooms, and staff/service rooms. Typical unit amenities include built-in millwork, separate formal dining areas, windowed kitchens with pantry or eat-in space, ample fitted closets and private storage bins in the basement. The cooperative is operated as white-glove full service with a 24-hour doorman, porters and a live‑in superintendent; building services include central laundry, Verizon Fios wiring and concierge-style staffing. Pet policies are permissive (pets allowed) and the board considers pieds‑à‑terre on a case-by-case basis; financing is commonly permitted up to around 50–65% depending on the offering. Many homes have been renovated to modern specifications while retaining original architectural detail, and several units provide private outdoor terraces of varying sizes. Located on a landmarked, tree-lined block on the Upper East Side between Lexington and Park Avenues, the building sits steps from Central Park, restaurants, boutiques and transit, appealing to buyers seeking a formally arranged, service-oriented prewar residence.
