300 E 54Th St

Connaught Tower is a 34-story, postwar cooperative completed in 1978 that contains 129 primarily one- and two-bedroom residences spread across a prominent Midtown East/Sutton Place address. The masonry-and-glass high-rise presents a traditional rectangular profile softened by generous window bays; many units feature private balconies and soundproofed windows that emphasize skyline and river views. Interiors typically include eat-in kitchens or kitchen islands, granite counters, built-in storage, crown moldings, and thoughtful foyer and dining alcove arrangements; several apartments have in-unit washer/dryers and walk-in closets. Common areas reflect a full-service, white-glove operation: a staffed 24-hour doorman and concierge, circular driveway and porte-cochère, a planted courtyard/park, and a stately lobby served by multiple elevators. Resident amenities are substantial and centralized in the Penthouse Club, which houses a glass-enclosed rooftop/indoor pool, sauna, fitness center, sundeck and lounge with a catering kitchen; additional offerings include a roof deck, bike room, private storage (fee/waitlist), on-site underground garage with direct access, and central laundry. The co-op’s policies are owner- and amenity-friendly: pets and pied-a-terres are permitted with board approval, washer/dryer installations are allowed subject to consent, and the building maintains a non-smoking rule. Located between Midtown East and Sutton Place, the property provides immediate access to multiple subway lines (E, M, 6 and nearby 4/5/ N/Q/R/W), bus routes, Whole Foods and neighborhood retail, placing residents within easy reach of corporate centers, dining, and riverfront promenades.
