Overview of The Gallery House at 77 West 55th Street

Gallery House is a well-appointed 20-story cooperative located at 77 West 55th Street, completed in 1962. Designed by Horace Ginsbern & Associates, the building comprises 186 units and features a variety of amenities that enhance the living experience for residents.

The building offers a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, and convenient laundry facilities equipped with new machines. Residents can enjoy a beautifully landscaped roof deck, which provides breathtaking views of the skyline and Central Park. Additional amenities include storage options and a pet-friendly policy that accommodates pets up to 50 pounds.

Gallery House is situated in a prime location just south of Central Park, providing easy access to world-class dining, shopping along Fifth Avenue, and cultural landmarks such as Carnegie Hall and the Museum of Modern Art. The building’s proximity to the Theater District and various transportation options—including the N, Q, R, W, A, C, B, D, and 1 subway lines—makes it an ideal choice for both full-time residents and those seeking a pied-à-terre in New York City.

Notably, the building has housed famous residents, including Paul Desmond, the acclaimed alto saxophonist known for his work with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. With its combination of modern amenities and a vibrant location, Gallery House remains a desirable address in Manhattan.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-positioned" post-war condo offers "prime Midtown West living" with a "superb location" steps from Carnegie Hall and cultural landmarks. The "full-service" building boasts a "beautiful roof deck," "renovated lobby" and "investor-friendly" policies with "surprisingly low common charges." While there's "no on-site gym," the "large apartments" and "excellent doorman service" make this an "ideal home base" for culture lovers seeking easy access to "outstanding restaurants," MOMA, and Central Park.
