Set in Sutton Place, this 1955-built cooperative rises 13 stories and contains one- and three-bedroom layouts across a small collection of residences. The building presents midcentury red-brick character with oversized corner windows and abundant light.

Residents enjoy full-service features including a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent. Shared conveniences include a planted garden and courtyard, a roof deck, bike storage and optional private storage (waitlist). There is a central laundry room and building-wide bulk electric billing in some units. The property is pet friendly and commonly permits pied‑à‑terre purchases and substantial financing when approved by the co-op board.

Many apartments offer windowed kitchens, generous closets and private planted terraces or outdoor space, making the building appealing for those who value light, storage and outdoor access in Manhattan.
