175 E 62Nd St

A midcentury 20-story cooperative constructed in 1963, this small-footprint Upper East Side building contains 32 residences arranged as one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. The masonry façade and modest vertical massing reflect postwar design; common entry spaces are finished with traditional materials and a formal marble lobby is often noted in listings. Interiors typically feature prewar-style details now refreshed — high ceilings, crown moldings, parquet or refinished hardwood floors, formal entry foyers, separate dining rooms, and built-in cabinetry. Many units offer private outdoor space ranging from Juliet balconies to full terraces and several apartments include substantial planted terraces or private gardens. Bathrooms and kitchens across the building have been renovated in many residences, adding marble surfaces, stainless appliances and in-unit washer/dryer hookups in permitted units. Common building services skew toward full-service living: a 24-hour doorman/white-glove staff, resident manager, on-site laundry room, bike and basement storage, and an on-site parking garage for owners. Board policies are buyer-friendly in several listings — permitting pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, foreign buyers and pets under a specified weight — and maintenance frequently includes utilities such as electricity and basic cable. The building occupies a tree-lined Lenox Hill block between Lexington and Third Avenues, a short walk to Central Park, Madison and Fifth Avenue shopping, boutique dining, fitness clubs and multiple subway lines, delivering a classic Upper East Side lifestyle with strong neighborhood convenience.
