160 E 26Th St

A seven-story prewar cooperative built in 1925, the building houses 33 primarily small units—studios and one-bedrooms—arranged in a modest elevator-served block. The façade and massing reflect early 20th-century Manhattan residential scale; interiors commonly feature high ceilings and hardwood floors while several units expose original brick and working fireplaces. Many residences are configured as duplexes or triplexes and some include private outdoor space ranging from small balconies to larger private terraces and a communal roof deck. Common areas have been updated intermittently: a renovated lobby and hallways, on-site laundry, and a live-in superintendent who manages routine building maintenance. The co-op board is flexible on ownership structures—allowing pets, gifting, co-purchases, parents buying for children, pied-à-terres in many cases—and permits subletting after residency thresholds with approval. Financially the building permits up to 80% financing; occasional assessments have been levied for capital work. Located on East 26th Street near Third Avenue, it sits at the intersection of Kips Bay and Gramercy, within walking distance of Madison Square Park, Flatiron, and multiple subway lines, offering an urban neighborhood lifestyle with easy access to restaurants, markets, and transit.
