349 E 49Th St

A six-story prewar cooperative constructed in 1940, this midrise Art Deco building houses 46 primarily studio and one-bedroom apartments. The exterior is distinguished by period masonry and an articulated street-level entrance that opens into an original Art Deco lobby with decorative moldings and tile work. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, defined entry foyers, sizeable closets including walk-in configurations, and layouts that include separate formal dining areas or eat-in kitchens and galley kitchens in smaller units. Many residences overlook a planted building garden and private courtyard; some units include private outdoor spaces both above and below 60 square feet. Common building services include a full‑time doorman, live‑in superintendent, on‑site laundry, bicycle storage and limited private storage. The cooperative’s policies are accommodating: pets are permitted, pied-à‑terre ownership is allowed, and parent-assisted purchases are considered case by case; subletting is permitted under limited terms. Parking is not a prominent on-site feature; residents rely on neighborhood garages and public transit access. Located in Turtle Bay near the United Nations and Midtown, the building sits within a mixed residential and institutional neighborhood with nearby shops, restaurants, weekly farmers market, and multiple bus and subway lines. The property’s prewar character, service roster, and modest scale create a traditional Manhattan coop environment that balances classic architectural detail with practical, city‑focused amenities.
