146 East 49th Street

Most lavish in the heart of Midtown's Fifth-&-Madison's upscale shopping and dining amid world-renowned towers, this nine-story cooperative houses 36 spacious four-to-a-floor apartments. One-bedroom units on the A line and two-bedroom units on the B line offer stunning northerly views of the E 49th skyscrapers, while the one-BR southern houses on the C and D lines overlook the backyard. Ultra-wide windows, nine-foot ceilings, elaborate fireplaces, and crown molding are standard décor. An elevator and well-designed stairway access a furnished foyer, renovated laundry, and bike room with storage units available for a fee. Although there is no doorman, a hard working 'super' and a modern video intercom system secure the property. Guarantors and short-term "pied-à-terre" purchase may be approved by the board for 80% financing, and pets are welcome.
