337 E 50Th St

A mid‑century, low‑rise cooperative in Midtown East, constructed in 1947 and organized across five stories with approximately 15 units. The building’s architecture is understated and residential in scale, fitting the tree‑lined character of its block rather than asserting a landmark profile. Residences are primarily studios and two‑bedroom layouts, with several duplex units that include private, multi‑level configurations and direct access to planted garden spaces. Interiors commonly feature open flow plans, foyer entrances, generous closet storage, built‑ins, hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and an emphasis on natural light; some units add skylights, built‑in desks or offices, and renovated kitchens with modern appliances. Common elements include an elevator, a shared laundry room, a live‑in superintendent, and modest service infrastructure appropriate to a boutique coop. Exterior amenities are limited but notable for private outdoor spaces and a communal garden area that functions as an extension of lower‑level duplex homes. The building maintains pied‑a‑terre policies on a case‑by‑case basis and generally enforces a no‑pets rule; cooperatively governed underwriting and showing protocols (advance notice required) reflect a hands‑on management style. Its location places residents within a short walk of the East River Greenway, multiple subway lines and Midtown transit hubs, and a dense concentration of restaurants and neighborhood groceries, offering an urban lifestyle that balances tranquility on a residential block with immediate access to Midtown services and commuting options.
