220 E 73Rd St

A 13-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1929 and designed in the classic Emery Roth/Bing & Bing idiom. The masonry facade conceals a mix of studio through three-bedroom layouts, many retaining original prewar details such as beamed ceilings, built-in millwork, hardwood floors, and working wood-burning fireplaces. Apartments often feature generous entrance foyers, formal dining areas, walk-in closets and windowed kitchens; some units have private terraces or balconies and several listings describe large combined apartments and penthouse terraces. Common areas emphasize traditional full-service comforts: an elegant renovated lobby, 24-hour doorman and concierge, full-time superintendent, central laundry, bike room, and basement storage. Shared building amenities include a fitness room, resident’s courtyard/garden and on-site staff; washer/dryers are permitted in-unit per house rules and pets and pied-a-terre ownership are commonly allowed subject to board approval. Policies favor flexible ownership scenarios—guarantors and parents buying for children are accepted and the co-op permits sublets and pieds-a-terre in many cases. Located on a leafy, landmarked block near Third and Second Avenue subway access, the building sits within walking distance of shops, restaurants, museums, and Central Park, offering a classic Upper East Side urban lifestyle with generous apartment proportions and strong communal services.
