212 E 48Th St

A nine-story, 1923–1924 prewar cooperative situated on a tree-lined Midtown East townhouse block, this boutique building contains roughly 31 primarily one-bedroom units laid out in traditional floorplan configurations. The exterior displays classic masonry proportions and a modest street-facing presence, while common grounds include a landscaped private garden and a planted roof deck that extend outdoor living beyond individual balconies and small private terraces. Interiors emphasize original period detail: high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, wide-plank hardwood floors, expansive windows, and working wood-burning fireplaces in many residences. Common areas are finished in marble and feature an attended lobby, live-in superintendent, an elevator, and shared laundry and storage rooms; individual apartments often benefit from generous foyer and formal dining areas, multiple closets including walk-ins, windowed kitchens and baths, and in some cases in-unit washer/dryer hookups. The building operates as a full-service coop with a 24-hour or part-time doorperson system depending on unit, allows pets and a range of ownership structures (co-purchasing, guarantors, pied-a-terre considered), and offers on-site storage for a fee. Its Midtown East location places it within easy walking distance of Grand Central, multiple subway lines, restaurants, theaters, museums, and neighborhood shopping, delivering a quiet residential feel while remaining exceptionally connected to Manhattan’s transit and cultural nodes.
