242 E 25Th St

A 13-story boutique residential building completed in 2004, this Condop-style property contains about 30 units configured largely as studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedroom apartments. The exterior presents a contemporary midrise profile with a shared roof deck that provides panoramic Midtown views. Interiors emphasize light and storage: many residences feature floor-to-ceiling or oversized windows, high ceilings, hardwood floors, formal entry foyers, walk-in/California closets and in-unit washer/dryers in several layouts. Kitchens are finished with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, glass-mosaic backsplashes and breakfast bars; bathrooms are often upgraded with stone or porcelain tile and premium fixtures. Common areas include a staffed doorman (part-time coverage), live-in superintendent, a fitness center, bike and storage rooms, and central laundry. Outdoor provisions include a planted garden and private outdoor spaces in select units ranging above and below 60 sq ft. Building policies are unusually permissive for a co-op-style ownership: investors, co-purchasers, guarantors, pied-à-terres, immediate subletting and pets are allowed under condominium-style rules. Located on East 25th Street at the Kips Bay/Gramercy edge, the property sits near Madison Square Park, multiple grocery options, restaurants and subway access, supporting both commuter convenience and neighborhood services.
