The Rutherford is a mid-century, 14-story cooperative built in 1961 that occupies a tree-lined block directly across from Stuyvesant Square Park in Manhattan. The property is composed primarily of studio and alcove-studio plans, many of which have been converted to junior one-bedroom layouts; typical interior traits include hardwood floors, crown moldings, recessed lighting, built-in shelving, generous closets and den or foyer areas that create defined living and sleeping zones. Public areas and systems reflect full-service condominium-era expectations: a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator access, on-site parking garage with a waitlist option, renovated laundry facilities, bike storage and additional private storage rooms in the basement. Exterior amenities emphasize outdoor access and community spaces — a landscaped courtyard, furnished roof deck with park and skyline views, private outdoor spaces on select units, and planted common gardens. The co-op permits pets and allows subletting under board rules after a period; white-glove building management and regular maintenance have kept the common areas updated. Situated steps from Union Square, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, multiple subway lines and local markets, the building offers an urban lifestyle with immediate park frontage and strong neighborhood conveniences.
