240 E 35Th St

A twelve-story cooperative erected in 1956, this mid-century residential building contains studios and one-bedroom apartments configured with thoughtful prewar-inspired details and practical layouts. Common interior features across units include entrance foyers, defined dining areas or dens, eat-in kitchens with granite counters and pantry space, generous closets and dressing rooms, and smoke-free living. Many apartments have been renovated to include modern kitchens, quartz or marble counters, stainless appliances, and updated baths while retaining hardwood floors and classic moldings in select homes. Shared spaces focus on daily convenience and neighborhood living: a 24-hour doorman and live-in super staff the lobby and main entrance; there is central laundry, a bike room, resident storage, and on-site garage parking (fees apply). Outside, residents benefit from planted common courtyards, a garden and playground at lobby level, plus a planted roof deck offering panoramic city views including the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. The coop maintains flexible ownership policies uncommon in older co-ops — allowing pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, parents buying for children, and a limited sublet program — and accepts pets under specified weight limits. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in Murray Hill, the building sits within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines, Grand Central, neighborhood grocers, restaurants, parks and other urban conveniences.
