The Lenox House is a full-service, 17-story cooperative built in 1963 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Containing about 52 primarily one-bedroom units (with various convertible layouts), the post‑war structure presents a mid-century residential profile with large bay and double‑pane windows that emphasize light and street views. Interiors commonly feature eat‑in kitchens or pass‑throughs, built‑in storage and organized closet systems; many units have been updated with modern finishes such as granite counters and stainless appliances while retaining details like crown and foot molding. Shared spaces include a staffed, renovated lobby and reception with 24‑hour doorman service, a live‑in superintendent, multipurpose/community rooms, a Cybex/fitness center, central laundry, bike and basement storage, and private storage lockers. Select residences offer small private outdoor spaces or balconettes and some have access to a building roof deck. The co‑op’s management owns retail space that helps support relatively low maintenance charges; policies vary by unit but historically have permitted in‑unit washers/dryers with board approval, limited pet ownership (often one dog) in many apartments, and case‑by‑case pied‑à‑terre approvals. Located steps from Lexington Avenue subway lines, the 2nd Avenue Q access and crosstown buses, the building sits amid shops, markets and neighborhood restaurants, providing a commuter-friendly Upper East Side lifestyle.
