1435 Lexington Ave

Built in 1925 and rising 11 stories with just 19 residences, this prewar cooperative exemplifies classic Carnegie Hill architecture and scale. Constructed by Blum Brothers, the masonry facade and restrained ornament recall early 20th-century Edwardian sensibilities; three apartments share each elevator landing, preserving a sense of privacy and low-density living. Interiors typically feature high ceilings, beamed and crown-molded details, herringbone or hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplaces in some homes, and layouts that include formal foyers, separate dining rooms, and staff/maids’ rooms that have often been repurposed as home offices. Kitchens are frequently updated with granite counters and stainless appliances, while many units offer in-unit washer/dryers subject to board approval. Common areas and services are full-service: a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager/superintendent, porter/handyman support, and an elegant lobby. Building amenities include a planted, furnished roof deck with neighborhood views, individual private storage in the basement, bicycle storage, and a laundry room. The co-op is pet friendly (with board approval), permits up to 65% financing, and applies a 2% flip tax on resale. Located at the heart of Carnegie Hill, the property sits blocks from Central Park and major cultural institutions, with multiple subway and crosstown bus options nearby, supporting a cultured, walkable Upper East Side lifestyle.
