Description

Spacious, sunny studio in a handsome Gothic-style building, situated in desirable Lenox Hill close to Central Park. The 13-story Finch cooperative, formerly part of Finch College, is a historic gem built in 1920 with just 40 homes. Airy apartment 9B is enhanced by elegant prewar features like high 10’ beamed ceilings as well as hardwood floors and an oversized picture window in the living area inviting in lots of natural light.

Move in and enjoy or renovate the kitchen and bath to modernize your new dream home. (Staged photos shown here)
52 East 78th Street is one of two prewar buildings comprising The Finch co-operative, formerly the home of Finch College, a women’s private school whose alumni include the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Whitneys, and Isabella Rossellini. Upon the closing of its doors in 1975, the red brick and limestone buildings were converted into apartments.
Making life here even more attractive are the amenities, and the excellent location.

This boutique co-op offers a part-time doorman (Monday-Friday from 12:00 pm-8:00 pm and 2:00 pm-10:00 pm on weekends), an elevator, live-in resident manager, and laundry room. Pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, subletting and pets are allowed with board approval. The prime Upper East Side address is on a lovely block less than 2 blocks from Central Park.

Also near Lenox Hill Hospital, the renowned Metropolitan Museum of Art, Met Breuer, Frick and Guggenheim, world-class hotels, art galleries, fine dining and Madison Avenue shopping. Transportation options are good as well.
