Gotham Towne House is a post‑war, mid‑rise cooperative completed in 1959 and converted to co‑op ownership in 1986. The 20–21 story building offers primarily studio and one‑bedroom layouts, including alcove and junior one configurations, many with passageways, galley kitchens, and built‑in storage. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, marble bathrooms, granite or marble counters, pantry space, and updated kitchens with stainless appliances. Communal resources emphasize convenience: a full‑time doorman, live‑in superintendent, new elevators, renovated lobby and corridors, a large coin‑operated laundry, BuildingLink notifications, suitcase and bike storage, and substantial basement storage. Exterior amenities include a roof deck and on‑site parking garage (fee), and select units provide private terraces or balconies. The co‑op admits pied‑a‑terre and co‑purchasing, allows limited subletting after ownership, and permits cats and approved emotional support/service animals while generally prohibiting dogs. Maintenance covers the majority of utilities and includes a discounted bulk cable/Internet package; a portion of maintenance is tax‑deductible. Located on East 57th Street near Lexington Avenue, the building sits within Midtown East’s retail and transit core, steps from grocery markets, fitness clubs, and multiple subway lines.
