332 E 77Th St

A well-preserved pre-war cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the red-brick property at 332–336 East 77th Street dates to 1910 and rises five stories across three connected buildings. The 57-unit walk-up houses primarily one-bedroom and studio residences that retain classic period details such as high (9+ foot) ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative fireplaces, and exposed brick walls. Apartments range from thoughtfully renovated turnkey studios to fully updated one-bedrooms with windowed kitchens and baths; several units have been reconfigured from three-room plans into generous open studios. Building-level improvements in recent years include exterior masonry restoration, a lobby and hallway renovation, and a modern video intercom system; management provides a live-in superintendent. Common conveniences in many homes include in-unit washer/dryer capability, custom storage, and occasional private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet. The cooperative’s policies are notable: parents buying for children, gifting and co-purchasing are permitted, subletting is allowed after a waiting period, but pets, pieds-à-terre and guarantors are typically prohibited. Financials include a flip tax of $5 per share, maintenance that is largely tax-deductible, and eligibility for the NYC STAR tax credit for qualifying primary residents. The building sits on a tree-lined block in Lenox Hill with easy access to the M79 crosstown bus and nearby 6 and Q train service, surrounded by neighborhood shops, restaurants and cultural amenities.
