249 E 48Th St

A mid‑century, 20‑story condominium built in 1957, the property offers predominantly one‑ and two‑bedroom layouts with occasional larger corner units. The exterior reads as a restrained white‑brick tower set on a treelined Midtown East block; many residences feature oversized windows and private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft. Typical interiors include galley kitchens, formal dining areas adaptable to bedrooms or offices, hardwood floors, generous closet storage, and in some homes washer/dryer hookups. Building services emphasize full‑service living: 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, on‑site porters/handymen, laundry room and a private garage with rentable/deeded spots. Recent capital work has modernized elevators and updated the lobby and package handling areas. Pet policies are permissive and the condominium allows pied‑a‑terres, guarantors, co‑purchasing and subletting under board rules. Location advantages include immediate access to multiple subway lines and crosstown buses, proximity to Grand Central and the United Nations, supermarkets and a weekly farmer’s market, plus a dense neighborhood of restaurants, fitness clubs and services that support both full‑time residents and pied‑a‑terre owners.
