150 W 55Th St

A nine-story, 17-unit prewar cooperative built in 1922, this Midtown Manhattan building blends original architectural character with layered modern renovations. Exterior masonry and a modest street frontage lead to an elegantly restored lobby and a landscaped private courtyard/garden that provides a quiet outdoor amenity uncommon for the immediate Theater District. Interiors preserve classic prewar elements — beamed ceilings, high ceilings (around ten feet in many units), oak hardwood floors, solid wood doors, and decorative moldings — while individual apartments have been updated with contemporary systems and finishes including renovated kitchens, windowed baths, upgraded electrical, and modern fixtures. Common facilities include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, two elevators (passenger and freight), central laundry, individual private storage bins, a package room and bicycle storage. The building is pet-friendly and smoke-free; some units offer private terraces or expansive wraparound roof terraces and private outdoor kitchens. Layouts are largely two-bedroom configurations (many marketed as convertible one-bedroom with dining/office space) with generous foyers, abundant closets and flexible floor plans that can accommodate home offices. Located in the Theater District near Central Park, Carnegie Hall, MoMA and major subway lines, the building provides a walkable urban lifestyle anchored by cultural institutions, high-end shopping and restaurants.
