146 E 49Th St

A ten-story, 1920 prewar cooperative in Midtown East, this Emery Roth–designed boutique building contains mainly two-bedroom and one-bedroom residences that retain original architectural character. Exterior ornament is restrained; the emphasis is on gracious apartment proportions and classical urban scale. Interiors commonly feature high (around nine-foot) beamed ceilings, crown moldings, decorative fireplaces and inlaid or herringbone hardwood floors. Many units include formal foyers, separate dining rooms, eat-in kitchens with full-size appliances, multiple closets and windowed bathrooms. The building operates as a full-service co-op with an elevator, live-in superintendent, video intercom entry and on-site laundry facilities; additional resident conveniences include a bike room, basement storage and package handling. Co-op policies are notably flexible for the asset class: pets, pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and a liberal sublet regime (after a residency period) are permitted, and washer/dryers may be installed with board approval. Situated on a tree-lined block in Turtle Bay/Midtown East, the property is within easy walking distance of Grand Central, the United Nations, transit, restaurants and shopping, offering a blend of historic prewar detail and modernized unit upgrades.
