575 Main St

Island House is a 19-story cooperative completed in 1975 on Roosevelt Island, offering studios, one- and three-bedroom residences across a mid-rise volume. The exterior presents classically modern detailing with broad windows that capture East River and Manhattan skyline views; many apartments have been fully renovated with new insulated sliding windows. Interiors commonly feature wide-plank oak floors, crown molding, walk-in closets, and chef-ready kitchens with islands, breakfast bars, and high-end stainless steel appliances. Spa-like bathrooms, soaking tubs, built-in storage and separate formal dining or eat-in kitchen areas appear across layouts; select larger units include duplex plans and expansive private terraces. Building-level amenities emphasize community and wellness: a 24-hour doorman, on-site management, a designer fitness center, access to a 20-meter lap pool in the adjacent building, sauna, landscaped courtyard with garden and dog run, bike storage and private storage bins that may transfer with units. Outdoor resources include uncovered courtyards, planted gardens, barbecue facilities and private outdoor spaces ranging above and below 60 sq ft. Policies are coop-specific but generally permit pied-a-terres, pets, and financing up to 80% on many units; certain sponsor sales may waive board approval. Located steps from the F train and Roosevelt Island Tram, with ferry and bus links and nearby Cornell Tech and Four Freedoms Park, the property blends quieter island living with a short commute to Midtown.
