The Merritt House is an 11-story, boutique prewar condominium in Manhattan built in 1929 and converted to residences in a recent renovation. The property contains a small collection of generously proportioned three-bedroom homes (originally larger prewar layouts) with classic architectural details such as beamed and high ceilings, crown moldings, wood-burning fireplaces, and herringbone oak floors. Units commonly feature formal entry foyers, large living and dining rooms, windowed eat-in chefs’ kitchens with high-end appliances, marble counters, walk-in closets, in-unit washer/dryers, and zoned air-conditioning. The building’s footprint is townhouse-scaled, with only a few apartments per floor accessed via semi-private elevator landings. Shared spaces emphasize intimacy and practicality: a landscaped courtyard, furnished common dining/entertaining room with catering kitchen, a fitness/stretching room, children’s playroom, private storage rooms, and a 24-hour attended lobby. Exterior amenities include a planted courtyard and small private outdoor spaces for some residences. The building permits pieds-a-terre, allows pets, and is investor-friendly. Located on a quiet tree-lined Upper East Side block between Lexington and Third Avenue, Merritt House sits within a short walk of Central Park, Museum Mile, multiple subway lines (4/5/6 and nearby Q/2nd Avenue), grocery and wellness retailers, and neighborhood restaurants, supporting both full-time living and pied-à-terre lifestyles.
