155 E 49Th St

155 East 49th Street is a ten-story, pre-war co-op built in 1924 and configured with a mix of studios, one- and three-bedroom residences across roughly forty-four units. The masonry facade and beamed ceilings inside many homes reflect the building’s original character, while renovated kitchens and windowed baths indicate frequent unit-level updates. Interiors typically feature hardwood floors, generous storage including walk-in closets and pantries, breakfast bars or eat-in kitchens, and a handful of apartments with private outdoor spaces of varying sizes. Common areas are service-oriented: a staffed 24-hour doorman and attended elevator, live-in superintendent, card-operated laundry room, bike storage and an additional storage room. The building’s rules are flexible for buyers—co-purchasing, guarantors and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted in many cases; subletting usually becomes available after two years. Pet policy is cat-friendly but generally prohibits dogs. Located on a quiet Midtown East block between Lexington and Third Avenue, the property places residents within easy walking distance of Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, the United Nations and a dense array of dining, shopping and cultural options, making daily errands and transit connections straightforward.
