239 East 53rd Street is a six story, 24 unit rental in Midtown East, a pre war brownstone walk up completed around 1900. Set between Second and Third Avenue, the building occupies a cross town block surrounded by restaurants, bars, retail, and neighborhood services.
The apartments range from studios and junior one bedrooms to one and two bedroom layouts. Hardwood floors, large windows, generous natural light, and ample closet space recur across the apartments, while open kitchens with standard appliances and microwaves appear in several layouts. A larger one bedroom has been offered at approximately 850 square feet with direct river and city views, though the building's apartment mix is otherwise more compact.
The building has a live in superintendent, and apartments have also been described with air conditioning and double pane windows. The property is pet free; rental terms and screening requirements vary by apartment. Whole Foods, health clubs, coffee shops, restaurants, and Midtown office buildings are all close by, with Greenacre Park and Sutton Place among the area's nearby open spaces.
