Henderson House is a mid-20th-century, 22-story cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side completed in 1961. The property contains roughly 40 large, predominantly three-bedroom residences laid out as generous, formal apartments with high ceilings, expansive living and dining rooms, and features such as crown molding, chandeliers, recessed lighting, walk-in closets and built-in cabinetry. Many homes include eat-in kitchens or sizable windowed kitchens with pantry space, multiple baths (often en-suite), private terraces or balconies, and thoughtful service spaces like maid’s rooms or laundry rooms. Exteriors present a calm urban block presence with an enclosed landscaped courtyard and garden space that provides private outdoor areas for several units. Common areas and building operations reflect a white-glove co-op standard: full-time doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, on-site garage, bicycle room, storage facilities and a resident fitness room. The cooperative’s governance emphasizes fiscal conservatism, historically low carrying costs, and allowances such as pet ownership, pied-à-terre use, and financing up to around 65%. Located adjacent to Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade, the building offers immediate access to riverside green space, nearby schools, shops and multiple transit options including subway, bus and ferry.
