This is a boutique prewar cooperative located in Murray Hill, New York City, built in 1916 and rising nine stories with roughly two dozen units. The building presents a historic brick facade and an elegantly appointed marble lobby leading to an elevator and a live-in superintendent's suite. Units are predominantly one- and two-bedroom layouts, many retaining classic prewar details: high beamed ceilings, oversized windows, decorative fireplaces, picture rails, crown moldings, inlaid hardwood floors, and period hardware. Several homes have been thoughtfully renovated with modern kitchens, marble or Carrera-tiled baths, and in-unit washer/dryers, while others remain excellent candidates for renovation and personalization. Common building features include secure bicycle storage, basement storage rooms available for a fee, a central laundry room, and an intercom entry system. The co-op is pet friendly and permits pied-a-terres and limited subletting/pied-a-terre arrangements subject to board approval; financing up to typical co-op limits is allowed. Apartments occupy gracious proportions—deep entry foyers, separate formal dining rooms, and multiple exposures offering city and landmark views such as the Chrysler Building or the adjacent Sniffen Court carriage houses. The location sits on a quiet, tree-lined block between Lexington and Third Avenues, within easy walking distance of Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, Trader Joe’s and a dense mix of restaurants, transit options, and neighborhood conveniences.
