223 E 50Th St

This is a six-story prewar cooperative built in 1928, occupying a low-rise, boutique profile typical of Midtown East townhouse-lined blocks. The property is elevator-served and configured primarily with one-bedroom units, many laid out in classic railroad or true one-bedroom plans. Interiors frequently retain prewar character—high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, original moldings and sizable built-in closets—while many apartments show modern updates such as renovated kitchens with breakfast bars or galley layouts, windowed baths, and some in-unit washer/dryer hookups. Common areas are modest and functional: a keyed elevator, basement laundry, part-time super, and secure key-fob/intercom entry in more recently upgraded units. The co-op’s governance is described as financially sound and permissive for a prewar building: flexible purchase policies allow co-purchasing, parents buying for children, pieds-a-terre and guarantors, with subletting permitted after two years subject to board approval. Pet rules vary by offering but dogs are commonly prohibited. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in Turtle Bay/Midtown East, the building sits within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines, restaurants, grocery options and services, delivering a grounded urban lifestyle that balances residential calm with Midtown convenience.
