310 W 55Th St

A six-story prewar co-operative constructed in 1941, this Midtown West property contains 32 primarily studio and one-bedroom homes laid out with classic prewar proportions. The façade and massing are modest and residential in scale, set on a tree-lined block a few minutes’ walk from Central Park and Columbus Circle. Interiors across the building tend to emphasize high ceilings, hardwood floors, gracious entry foyers and architectural details such as arched openings and wainscoting. Many apartments feature windowed kitchens and bathrooms, abundant closet space, and den or dining alcoves that allow conversion between one-bedroom and flexible two-room plans. Common areas reflect a full-service co-op model: a staffed full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, two elevators, laundry room, bike storage and rentable storage cages. Outdoors there is a communal garden with planted beds and a grilling area as well as smaller private outdoor nooks off select units. The building allows pets, pied-à-terre purchases, co-purchasing and board-approved sublets; management communicates periodic capital assessments. Units have seen contemporary renovations including stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and updated baths while retaining original prewar character. Location amenities are a strong part of the offering: immediate access to Broadway theaters, Lincoln Center, the Time Warner Center, multiple subway lines, grocery options and restaurants. The scale and services make the property suitable for buyers seeking classic Manhattan prewar architecture with on-site conveniences and proximity to major cultural and transportation hubs.
