301 E 63rd St

A 16-story cooperative on the Upper East Side completed in 1959, this midcentury residential building contains 58 units ranging from studios and one-bedrooms to rare three-bedroom layouts. The façade and massing reflect a straightforward postwar apartment block; interiors vary from original parquet and hardwood floors to fully renovated, loft-like conversions. Common areas include a staffed, newly refreshed lobby and elevator service; residents benefit from building-level conveniences such as an on-site superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, and private storage (waitlist). Outdoor spaces are a notable part of the property: a professionally landscaped roof deck with city views that can be rented for private use, plus planted garden areas and some apartments with private outdoor terraces. Systems upgrades completed in recent years include a new boiler, water tank and overhauled elevators funded from reserves. Operationally the coop offers a full-time doorman, bulk-rate utilities for cable and internet, and garage parking on site. The house rules and financial structure are buyer-facing features: the co-op permits pied-a-terres, gifting, parents buying for children, co-purchases, guarantors and sublets with board approval, and allows one cat or one dog up to 40 pounds (height limit enforced). Maintenance covers heat, water and gas and includes a portion allocated to the cooperative’s mortgage on the land (the co-op purchased the land years ago), which historically produces higher monthly charges but has also supported capital projects without special assessments. The building’s location—one block from the Q/F subway lines and short walks to Bloomingdale’s, Whole Foods, Central Park and the East River promenade—places it squarely in Lenox Hill’s retail and transit corridor, suited to residents who want full-service urban living with accessible neighborhood amenities.
