176 E 77Th St

A midcentury postwar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this 17-story, 1956-built building contains a modest collection of residences (roughly 67 units) that range from studios to multi-bedroom apartments. The exterior is unassuming and functional, with a purposeful scale that fits the surrounding brownstone and midrise context rather than towering above it. Interiors typically emphasize roomy layouts: generous foyers, separate formal dining areas, eat-in kitchens, high ceilings and den-like alcoves are common, and many apartments feature large windows with eastern, southern or western exposures. Common areas are staffed and service-oriented — a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, and an attended lobby set a white-glove tone. Shared building amenities include a lobby-level laundry room, bicycle storage, roof deck access, and an on-site garage. The co-op’s governance emphasizes financial stability and low maintenance charges; financing is generally allowed up to 70% with varying board policies for sublets, guarantors and washers/dryers. Pet ownership is permitted under building rules. Located west of Third Avenue, the building is a short walk to Central Park, Museum Mile, multiple subway lines (including the 6 and Q), crosstown bus routes and neighborhood retail and dining, supporting a culturally focused, walkable Upper East Side lifestyle.
