137 E 28Th St

A compact pre‑war cooperative on a tree-lined block in central Manhattan, this nine-story, 1927 elevator building contains a small collection of one-bedroom residences (13 units total). The exterior reads as a traditional masonry city property with a modest street-level entry; recent common-area upgrades include a renovated lobby and hallway finishes. Interiors preserve classic 1920s character—high, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, original moldings and oversized windows—while many apartments have been fully modernized with open kitchens, marble or granite counters and spa‑style baths. Shared building features are focused and practical: two elevators, a live‑in superintendent, laundry room, bike room, dedicated storage spaces and a video security system. The landscaped roof terrace provides panoramic skyline views including the Empire State Building and functions as a cultivated common outdoor room with seating, planting beds and a retractable awning. Operationally the coop reports strong finances and low maintenance fees that often include building‑provided internet and cable. Owner policies vary by unit but typically allow sublets after a waiting period, co‑purchases, gifting and pied‑a‑terre with board approval; pet rules are board‑dependent (many listings note cats or small dogs only). Located in Rose Hill near Kips Bay, NoMad and Gramercy, the building sits steps from the 6 train and within easy walking distance of Madison Square Park and multiple grocery and dining options.
