Located on a quiet, tree‑lined block of the Upper East Side near Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, this 21‑story post‑war cooperative was completed in 1961 and offers primarily two‑bedroom residences (many convertible to three). The building’s masonry façade and traditionally proportioned massing reflect its midcentury context within the Henderson Place historic district. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, formal dining rooms or dining alcoves, generous foyers, walk‑in closets, and other prewar‑inspired details such as chandeliers and substantial moldings. Many units enjoy multiple exposures, large picture windows and river or park views; several have private outdoor space under 60 sq ft. Common areas and services include a full‑time doorman, resident manager/superintendent, a staffed lobby, a windowed fitness room, central laundry, bike room, on‑site garage (with waiting list), and private storage. The coop is pet‑friendly, allows pied‑a‑terres, and permits substantial financing (commonly 60%–70% depending on the unit). Located minutes from the Second Avenue Q line, 4/5/6 trains, cross‑town buses and the NYC Ferry, the building places residents within walking distance of neighborhood groceries, restaurants, cultural institutions and recreational amenities like Asphalt Green and Gracie Mansion.
