The Harridge House is a 20-story, 129-unit cooperative built in 1963 on Manhattan’s midtown East side. The masonry-and-glass tower contains primarily studios and one-bedroom layouts, with occasional larger convertible plans created from combined spaces. Interiors across units range from renovated modern kitchens with stainless appliances and granite counters to classic midcentury proportions featuring high ceilings, expansive windows, and plentiful closet storage. Common areas include a marble-and-glass lobby, renovated corridors, and an entrance foyer in many homes. Shared building amenities emphasize daily convenience and light-touch services: a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, on-site super, central laundry rooms, bike room, package tracking, and building storage with a waitlist. Outdoor and recreational spaces include private landscaped patios and a courtyard, a roof deck/sundeck, and small garden areas that provide quieter, tree-lined views away from the avenue. Practical advantages include direct access to an on-site garage, utilities (heat, water, electricity and often A/C) included in maintenance, and flexibility in ownership policies—pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors and gifting are allowed; sublets are permitted under building rules. Pet policy restricts dogs but allows cats and service animals. The location is highly walkable with Whole Foods across the street, Bloomingdale’s nearby, easy access to multiple subway lines, buses, Grand Central and cultural destinations, positioning the building for Midtown living with neighborhood shopping and transit at the doorstep.
