Located at 288 Lexington Avenue in Murray Hill, this 13-story cooperative built in 1955 offers predominantly studio and one-bedroom residences across a modest midcentury masonry structure. The building presents a renovated lobby, two elevators, part-time doorman coverage (evenings), a live-in superintendent, central laundry room, package/storage room and on-site porter services. Apartments typically feature hardwood or bamboo floors, separate galley or windowed kitchens with modern stainless appliances in renovated units, soaking tubs in many bathrooms, ample closet storage and original natural woodwork and ceiling fans in some homes. Exterior common areas include a planted courtyard/garden and small private outdoor terraces for select units. Operational policies are relatively liberal for a co-op: pet-friendly rules, permissive financing up to 80%, pied-à-terre ownership, gifting and co-purchasing considered, and the possibility of subletting after two years.
