A beautifully designed alcove studio with a smart, space-maximizing layout in a full-service pre-war co-op in the heart of Midtown East.
Welcome to Residence 1C at 155 East 49th Street, a thoughtfully renovated alcove studio that makes exceptional use of its space while offering the convenience of a full-service co-op and one of Midtown’s most convenient locations.
The apartment’s open and inviting living space comfortably accommodates separate living, dining and sleeping areas, while the cleverly designed sleeping alcove creates a sense of separation and privacy rarely found in a traditional studio.
The sleeping area features custom built-in cabinetry and generous storage, allowing the apartment to remain organized while maximizing every square foot. The living room is bright and comfortable, with beautiful hardwood floors, custom built-ins and recessed lighting that give the home a polished, contemporary feel.

A dedicated dining area provides room for a proper table while maintaining an open connection to the living space.
The windowed bathroom features classic white subway tile, a full-size bathtub and a modern vanity, combining functionality with timeless style.
Perhaps most compelling is the combination of location, service and affordability. Monthly maintenance is currently just $852 and includes heat, hot water and gas, while residents enjoy a full-time doorman, attended elevator, live-in superintendent, renovated common areas, laundry room, bike storage and common storage.
Pied–terre ownership, parental purchasing, co-purchasing and guarantors are permitted with board approval, offering flexibility for a variety of buyers. The building is also pet-friendly according to the current StreetEasy listing.
