30 E 62Nd St

Cumberland House is a 16-story, postwar cooperative constructed in 1958 and situated at the corner of Madison Avenue and East 62nd Street in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The building contains a small number of large residences—primarily two- and three-bedroom layouts—spread across roughly two dozen units, many with substantial footprints, high ceilings, and formal entry foyers. Architecturally it reads as classic mid-century brick-and-limestone urban housing with renovated public spaces: a recently refreshed lobby and corridors, and a supervised, white-glove doorman presence. Apartment interiors commonly include generous living and dining rooms, built-in storage and walk-in closets, windowed kitchens, and a mix of private outdoor spaces ranging from modest balconies to expansive wraparound terraces. Shared amenities emphasize full-service convenience and resident wellness: 24-hour concierge and elevator staff, on-site garage (waitlist typically applies), a penthouse-level fitness room with adjacent outdoor space, communal laundry facilities, and private storage that transfers with many units. Financially the co-op is notable for historically low maintenance charges—partly offset by owned commercial space—and policies that accommodate pied-à-terre ownership, foreign buyers, pets (subject to board rules), and limited subletting after a qualifying ownership period. The location places residents one block from Central Park and within easy walking distance of Madison Avenue luxury retail, restaurants, and multiple subway lines and bus routes, supporting an urban lifestyle centered on shopping, culture, and park access.
