A 37-story post-war cooperative completed in 1974, this Upper East Side high-rise offers a variety of one- to three-bedroom floor plans across its residential stack. The exterior presents a traditional mid-century slab tower set within a large city block, with many residences featuring private balconies and expansive windows that capture river and city vistas. Apartment interiors commonly include hardwood floors, high ceilings, formal dining areas or open-plan living/dining layouts, windowed kitchens with stone or granite counters, and generous storage including walk-in closets and separate pantry space. Common areas are staffed and well-maintained: a 24-hour doorman/concierge, live-in superintendent, modernized lobby and corridors, and on-site building services such as central laundry, storage rooms, bicycle facilities, and in-house dry cleaning. Resident amenities emphasize convenience and wellness with a fitness room, valet garage parking, and luggage/bicycle rooms; some units permit in-unit washers and dryers subject to board approval. The co-op’s policies are relatively flexible for the neighborhood: pets and pieds-à-terre are commonly allowed, subletting and co-purchasing options exist with board consent, and financing up to approximately 75% is typical. Located one block from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade and adjacent to the Second Avenue subway, the building sits within a calm, residential pocket of Yorkville with nearby grocery options, schools, fitness facilities, and dining.
