347 E 53Rd St

Built in 1961, this well-maintained midrise cooperative rises 10–11 stories with roughly four apartments per floor, creating an intimate elevator-served building of about 42–43 units. Typical residences are one-bedroom and convertible two-bedroom plans featuring foyers, defined dining areas or dining alcoves, walk-in closets and parquet or hardwood floors; many homes include windowed bathrooms and eat-in or galley kitchens that owners often renovate with modern counters and appliances. Common interior conveniences include an on-site laundry room, bike storage, additional private storage units and a live-in superintendent. Outside, residents share a landscaped courtyard and garden with seating and barbecue grills; a small children’s play area is present in some listings. The co-op is financially solid in many listings (noted as having no underlying mortgage), operates with a flexible sublet policy and allows cats and small dogs under roughly 35 pounds; there are occasional small assessments for capital work. Service and neighborhood support are notable: a nearby parking garage, local gyms, and grocery options are within easy walking distance. Located on a tree-lined Sutton Place/Turtle Bay block in Midtown East, the building sits close to multiple subway lines, bus routes, parks and the United Nations, offering a calm residential feel within a busy urban context.
