319 E 50Th St

A 13-story prewar cooperative built in 1931, this midtown Manhattan residence preserves classic architectural details across studio and one-bedroom layouts. The façade and interior convey traditional craftsmanship; the lobby features stained-glass doors and Tudor-inspired finishes that lead to a staffed entrance with full-time doorman and elevator attendant. Apartments commonly display high, beamed ceilings, arched doorways, crown moldings, original natural woodwork, built-in bookcases, generous foyers and hardwood floors, with many homes offering windowed kitchens, pantry space and multiple exposures. Building services include a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, bike room, private storage and a roof deck and courtyard for outdoor access. The co-op’s policies are flexible for a prewar building: pets are welcome, pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors and parent purchases are typically permitted, and limited subletting is allowed on a case-by-case basis. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in the Turtle Bay/Beekman area, the property sits within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines (E, M, 6 and nearby cross-town/express buses), neighborhood groceries, markets and a growing roster of restaurants and shops, delivering a calm residential feel with direct Midtown convenience.
