40 E 84Th St

Completed in 1963 and rising 17 stories, this full-service cooperative on the Upper East Side is a mid-century residential building with prewar-inspired proportions and restrained, classically detailed finishes. There are primarily large multi-bedroom units (two-, four- and five-bedroom configurations) with layouts that favor gracious entry foyers, separate formal dining rooms, eat-in or galley kitchens, dens/maids’ rooms, abundant built-in storage and multiple walk-in closets. Typical apartment details include crown molding, chandeliers, hardwood floors, wide windows that bring generous natural light, significant pantry space and formal circulation suited to entertaining. Common areas are quietly elegant: a windowed lobby, attentive full-time doorman staff, live-in superintendent and on-site resident manager. Building amenities include garage parking (limited with wait list), bicycle storage, private storage rooms (wait list), and a new central laundry; select apartments offer private outdoor terraces. The co-op permits pets and pied-à-terres with board approval, allows substantial financing in many cases, and assesses a transfer/flip tax. Situated on a tree-lined corner near Madison Avenue between East 84th Street and Central Park, the location provides immediate access to museums, schools, boutiques, restaurants, major transit and park access, supporting a lifestyle centered on cultured urban convenience.
