150 W 55Th St

A nine-story prewar cooperative constructed in 1922 and restored to honor original details while incorporating modern systems. The low-rise masonry exterior conceals classic prewar proportions inside: high beamed ceilings, ornate moldings, oversized windows and wide hardwood plank floors are repeated through generous 1–2 bedroom layouts and convertible junior-four plans. Common areas include an elegant lobby opening onto a landscaped courtyard and residents’ patio garden adjacent to the entrance. The building operates with full-service staffing — a 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent — supported by two passenger elevators, a central laundry room, private bicycle storage and assigned basement storage bins transferred with many units. Apartments were updated over time for contemporary utilities (cable, internet, lighting) though in-unit washer/dryers are not permitted. Pet-friendly policies and concierge-style staffing make the coop suitable for long-term residents. Situated in Midtown Manhattan’s Theater District, the address sits within walking distance of Central Park, Carnegie Hall, MoMA, Broadway theaters, Columbus Circle shopping and multiple subway lines, offering a culturally dense, highly walkable urban lifestyle.
