A six-story, 10-unit prewar cooperative built in 1922, this walk-up townhouse-scale building occupies a quiet, tree-lined block in Turtle Bay, Midtown East. The masonry façade was recently refreshed while interior corridors and the entry retain original period details such as decorative ceiling moldings, high ceilings and tall windows that emphasize vertical proportions. Apartments are predominantly two-bedroom layouts alongside several junior one-bedroom and one-bedroom units; many retain exposed brick, hardwood floors, oversized windows and ten- to eleven-foot ceilings that reflect the building’s 1920s character. Common interior elements include a formal entrance foyer and a communal dining/assembly area; limited private outdoor spaces are available for a few residences. Building services are minimal: laundry facilities on-site, walk-up access only, and no on-site parking. The co-op’s governance is relatively flexible — permitting pieds-à-terre, guarantors, co-purchasing and liberal subletting after a holding period — with pet rules that typically restrict dogs but allow cats. Located several blocks from multiple subway lines (4/5/6 and E/M) and the United Nations corridor, the property combines classic prewar architecture with low-maintenance cooperative ownership in a highly walkable Midtown East neighborhood.
