424 E 52Nd St

A distinguished 13-story prewar cooperative built in 1930 and designed in the era of Emery Roth/Bing & Bing, this white-glove residence group occupies a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac in Midtown East. The property is composed of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and studio layouts that preserve classic prewar details: high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, gracious entrance foyers, wood-burning fireplaces and architecturally proportioned living and dining spaces. Kitchens have been updated in many units with granite counters and modern appliances while windowed bathrooms and abundant built-in cabinetry reflect careful renovation work. Shared amenities emphasize townhouse-like communal spaces: a professionally tended landscaped garden with a children’s play area, a roof deck, central laundry, bicycle room and individual storage units in the basement. Building services include full-time doormen, on-site management and a resident superintendent; pets, pieds-a-terre and washer/dryer installations are generally permitted subject to board approval. Storage options and a private outdoor terrace inventory vary by unit. The location places residents within easy walking distance of restaurants, museums, shopping and public transit, offering a composed, residential Midtown East lifestyle with prewar character and modern conveniences.
