235 E 49Th St

A 12-story prewar co-op in Midtown East, completed in 1926 and originally built as the New York Theological Seminary. The masonry building contains 38 primarily one-bedroom apartments with high ceilings, beamed details, hardwood floors, and period touches such as crown moldings and chandeliers. Many units feature built-in shelving, generous closets including walk-in and his-and-hers configurations, eat-in or open kitchens with modernized appliances, and separate dining or office nooks. Common areas are maintained with a part-time doorman (typical hours roughly morning through late evening), a live-in superintendent, updated hallways and elevators, and a second-floor laundry room. Outdoor amenities include a landscaped, furnished roof deck with open city views and small private outdoor spaces on select units; the building also offers private storage and pantry/linen storage options. The co-op’s rules are traditional: smoke-free, generally no pets, and established policies permitting pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors, and limited subletting periods subject to board approval. Located on a tree-lined block in Turtle Bay/Midtown East, the building sits within walking distance of Grand Central, major subway lines, the United Nations, local parks, and numerous restaurants and services that define a central Manhattan lifestyle.
