Overview of The Elysabeth at 35 East 38th Street

The Elysabeth is a 13 story postwar condominium at 35 East 38th Street, built in 1961 by developer Sarah Korein and designed by Sylvan Bien. The building was named after Korein's daughter and converted to condominium ownership in 1978. Korein, a German-born real estate investor who was raised in Palestine and fought in the underground movement for Israeli independence, owned some of New York's most prominent properties including the ground under One Penn Plaza and Lever House. Interestingly, she never considered The Elysabeth a success and never developed another building after its completion.

The 113 unit building offers full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, fitness center, central laundry room, bike storage, private storage, and an attached parking garage. Located on a tree lined block between Park and Madison Avenues, the building provides convenient access to Bryant Park, Grand Central Terminal, the New York Public Library, and Murray Hill's dining and shopping options. Small dogs are permitted, though pet policies may vary for rental units.

Apartments feature oversized windows that provide abundant natural light, with many units offering skyline and city views. Common features include hardwood floors, good closet space, and central air conditioning. The building contains a mix of alcove studios, one bedroom, and two bedroom layouts, with several high floor units offer particularly expansive views.

Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "well-kept" full-service condominium offers "prime Grand Central access" in a building that "doesn't skip on amenities," including 24-hour doorman and health club. The "mostly renovated" studios and one-bedrooms appeal to both residents and investors, with management maintaining "straightforward approval processes" for rentals. Building's "professional management" and "comprehensive amenity package" make it a "solid choice" for Manhattan living.
