301 E 78Th St

A 17-story cooperative built in 1963 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this full-service midcentury building houses primarily one-bedroom and alcove studio residences arranged around conventional elevator cores. The exterior presents a straightforward, masonry-faced façade with regular window bays and private balconies on select units; a communal roof deck provides additional outdoor space. Interiors typically feature hardwood or parquet floors, eat-in or open kitchens (many recently renovated), ample closet storage and layouts that emphasize separate dining/alcove areas rather than loft-style open plans. Common areas include a renovated lobby, a staffed 24-hour doorman desk, a live-in superintendent, central laundry, bicycle and basement storage with private lockers available, and a multipurpose/party room. Residents have access to an on-site Cybex-equipped fitness room and package/grocery handling; some units permit washer/dryer installation subject to board approval. Parking is not specified; the co-op maintains conservative financials and enforces a no-pets policy in many listings (exceptions historically considered case-by-case). Located near 2nd Avenue between 77th–83rd Streets, the building sits a short walk from multiple subway lines, grocery and specialty markets, restaurants, parks and cultural institutions, supporting a primarily residential, convenience-oriented Upper East Side lifestyle.
