Completed in 1962, this 16-story full-service cooperative on the Upper East Side offers primarily one-bedroom configurations alongside larger converted units and occasional multi-bedroom combinations. The midcentury structure presents a straightforward, residential façade and a practical building program typical of its era. Interiors in individual apartments tend to favor functional layouts: entry foyers, separate dining areas or alcoves, galley or open kitchens with modernized stainless steel appliances in many units, generous closets including walk-in options, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and through-the-wall air-conditioning. Some homes include private terraces or balconies and many feature multiple exposures with city and landmarked church views. Common areas are curated for everyday urban living rather than ostentation: a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, renovated hallways and elevators, central laundry, designated storage lockers for each unit, a bike room, and a landscaped communal roof deck with seating and an herb/vegetable garden. Building policies are buyer-friendly for a co-op: pet friendly, pied-à-terres permitted with board approval, co-purchasing and gifting allowed, financing typically up to 65%, and limited subletting rules. Practical conveniences at street level include nearby grocery access and excellent transit — multiple subway and bus lines and Central Park within a few blocks — situating the building squarely within Lenox Hill’s residential and cultural amenities.
