27 W 55Th St

A nine-story, boutique prewar cooperative built in 1923–1924, this Art Deco-style building contains just ten apartments and retains many period touches alongside modernized systems. Common interior characteristics include high, beamed ceilings, formal entrance foyer and dining areas in many units, wood-burning fireplaces, and a smoke-free policy in shared spaces. The property offers two elevators (passenger and service), a live-in superintendent, central laundry room, private storage bins that transfer with units, and a bike room. Most residences are one- and two-bedroom layouts with oversized, multi-aspect windows that flood apartments with light and showcase original hardwood flooring; many homes feature renovated, windowed kitchens and windowed bathrooms. Exteriorly, the building occupies a compact Midtown Central / Central Park South lot with limited private outdoor space per unit (small terraces or balconies under 60 sq ft). The cooperative allows pets and flexible purchase terms (including pied-à-terre, gifting, co-purchasing, guarantors, trusts and up to 75% financing). Its address places residents steps from Fifth Avenue, Central Park, major museums, theaters, Michelin-starred restaurants and multiple nearby subway lines for effortless Manhattan access.
