The Cloister is a ten-story, pre‑war cooperative completed in 1927 within the Tudor City Historic District of Midtown Manhattan. The building’s exterior reflects understated Gothic Revival detailing consistent with the enclave’s landmarked stonework and tree-lined streets. Housing primarily one- and two‑bedroom residences, many units retain period character such as beamed high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, and generous foyer and dining areas; updated kitchens commonly feature granite counters and stainless appliances while bathrooms are frequently renovated and windowed. Common-house amenities include a 24‑hour doorman, resident superintendent, elevator service, on‑site laundry room, bike room, and rentable storage; a nearby building fitness center is available for a modest fee. Units often offer private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft and private entrances in select apartments. The coop’s rules are flexible for buyers: pied‑a‑terres, guarantors, co‑purchasing and pets are permitted, with subletting generally allowed after one year subject to limits. Street-level access opens onto Tudor City’s planted parks and short walks to Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations, transit, dining and neighborhood retail, providing a calm, historic pocket within the bustle of Midtown.
