The Leslie House is a mid‑century, 13‑story cooperative in Midtown East completed in 1962 that contains 56 residential units, primarily one‑ and two‑bedroom layouts alongside sizable alcove studios and junior one‑bedroom conversions. The façade and massing reflect practical postwar design; interiors often feature hardwood parquet or plank floors, generous closets and eat‑in or separate dining configurations. Common areas are maintained and updated: a staffed 24‑hour doorman desk, renovated lobby and hallways, a planted roof deck with city views, central laundry, package room, and building storage and bike rooms in the basement. Resident services include a live‑in superintendent, on‑site garage parking, and a package room. Typical unit attributes seen in listings include renovated kitchens and baths, built‑in cabinetry, abundant window exposure (north and south aspects), and private balconies or small outdoor spaces on select residences. Pet policies vary by timeframe but commonly permit small dogs and cats (under about 25 lbs) with board approval; pied‑a‑terres and parental assistance are considered case‑by‑case and subletting is allowed within cooperative guidelines. The location puts residents within a short walk of multiple subway lines (E, M, 6, 4/5, N/R), grocery and fitness options, restaurants and Midtown employment centers, supporting a lifestyle that blends full‑service conveniences with easy city access.
