Historic pre-war co-op in the heart of Tudor City

The Essex House, located at 325 E 41st Street, stands as a testament to New York City's rich architectural heritage. Constructed in 1929, this 11-story pre-war co-op building houses 94 units, offering residents a blend of classic charm and modern living in the tranquil Tudor City enclave. Situated on a tree-lined street, the Essex House provides a serene retreat from the bustling energy of Midtown Manhattan while maintaining proximity to the city's vibrant core. The building's enduring appeal lies in its prime location, full-service amenities, and the unique character of its residences, which have been thoughtfully updated over the years to meet contemporary standards of comfort and style.

Versatile layouts with pre-war character and modern updates

The Essex House offers a range of living spaces, from cozy studios to spacious three-bedroom apartments, catering to diverse lifestyles and needs. One-bedroom units, starting around $540,000, provide an ideal entry point for those seeking a pied-à-terre or a compact city home. Two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 940 to 1,150 square feet and priced around $700,000, offer more generous living spaces with flexible layouts. Some two-bedroom units feature two full bathrooms, enhancing comfort and convenience. For those requiring more space, three-bedroom apartments are available, with prices in the vicinity of $1,580,000. Many units in the Essex House have been thoughtfully renovated, blending pre-war charm with modern amenities. Residents can expect to find hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and large casement windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Some apartments boast stunning views of the surrounding Tudor City parks or the iconic Manhattan skyline. Kitchens in updated units often feature stainless steel appliances, including brands like Wolf, Viking, and Miele, alongside granite countertops and custom cabinetry. Bathrooms have been modernized with elegant fixtures and finishes, some including deep soaking tubs or stall showers with glass enclosures. Storage is a key feature in many apartments, with some units offering walk-in closets, built-in shelving, and additional storage solutions. Select residences have been customized to include home office spaces, perfect for the modern professional working remotely. The variety of layouts and the potential for customization make the Essex House an attractive option for a wide range of residents, from young professionals to families and retirees seeking a comfortable home in a prime Manhattan location.

Full-service living with classic New York charm

The Essex House offers a range of amenities and services that cater to the needs of its residents, providing comfort and convenience in the heart of Manhattan. The building's elegant lobby, adorned with restored pre-war details, sets the tone for the classic New York living experience. A 24-hour doorman ensures security and assistance around the clock, while the live-in superintendent attends to the day-to-day maintenance of the building. These services contribute to a sense of safety and well-being for residents. For those who enjoy outdoor relaxation, the Essex House features a common courtyard, providing a tranquil space to unwind amidst the urban landscape. This shared outdoor area serves as a gathering spot for residents and adds a touch of greenery to the property. Practical amenities include a central laundry room, eliminating the need for in-unit laundry facilities or trips to off-site laundromats. The building also offers bicycle storage, a valuable feature for cycling enthusiasts or those who prefer two-wheeled transportation around the city. A common storage room is available to residents, offering extra space for seasonal items or belongings that may not fit comfortably in individual apartments. This amenity is particularly valuable given the premium on space in Manhattan living. The Essex House is a pet-friendly building, welcoming furry companions and adding to its appeal for animal lovers. This policy, combined with the nearby Tudor City parks, makes the building an attractive option for pet owners. While the Essex House may not boast the extensive list of luxury amenities found in some newer developments, its well-maintained facilities and attentive staff create a comfortable and inviting living environment. The building's classic charm, coupled with its practical amenities, continues to attract residents seeking a balance of character and convenience in their New York City home.

A tranquil enclave with easy access to Midtown's vibrancy

The Essex House is situated in the heart of Tudor City, a unique residential enclave known for its neo-Gothic architecture and peaceful atmosphere. This neighborhood offers a rare combination of tranquility and convenience in Midtown Manhattan, providing residents with a serene living environment just steps away from the city's bustling core. One of the most cherished features of the area is the Tudor City Parks. These privately maintained green spaces are open to the public and provide a welcome respite from the urban landscape. Tudor City Greens, located just a short walk from the Essex House, offers manicured gardens, park benches, and hosts seasonal concerts and events. The nearby Tudor Grove Playground and Mary O'Connor Playground provide recreational spaces for families with children. For those seeking larger outdoor areas, St. Vartan Park is within a 10-minute walk. This urban park features basketball and handball courts, a playground, and a wading pool, offering diverse recreational options for residents of all ages. The neighborhood's proximity to some of Manhattan's most iconic landmarks is a significant draw. Grand Central Terminal, a major transportation hub and architectural marvel, is just a short walk away. This proximity not only ensures excellent connectivity but also puts residents close to the terminal's array of shops and dining options. Food enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse culinary scene in the surrounding area. High-end dining options like The Capital Grille and Riverpark are within walking distance, offering upscale American cuisine and farm-to-table experiences respectively. For everyday needs, grocery shopping is convenient with stores like Kips Bay Gourmet Market Deli nearby. For retail therapy, residents can easily access major shopping destinations. Bloomingdale's flagship store is about a mile away, offering a wide range of upscale fashion and home goods. The Shops at Columbus Circle, though a bit further, provide a premium indoor shopping experience with a variety of high-end retailers. Education options in the area include the River School, a highly-rated public elementary school within walking distance. The Essex House's location in Tudor City offers residents the best of both worlds – a peaceful, almost small-town feel within the heart of one of the world's most vibrant cities. This unique setting, combined with easy access to Midtown's amenities and attractions, makes it an attractive choice for those seeking a balance between urban energy and residential calm.

Unparalleled connectivity in the heart of Manhattan

The Essex House's location in Tudor City offers residents exceptional access to New York City's comprehensive transportation network, making it easy to navigate both within Manhattan and to outer boroughs and beyond. At the heart of the area's transit options is Grand Central Terminal, a mere 10-minute walk from the Essex House. This historic transportation hub serves as a major nexus for both subway and regional rail services. The 4, 5, 6, 7, and 42nd Street Shuttle subway lines all converge at Grand Central-42nd Street station, providing quick access to various parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. For those traveling to the northern suburbs or Connecticut, Grand Central is the southern terminus for Metro-North Railroad's Harlem, Hudson, and New Haven lines. This makes the Essex House an ideal location for commuters working in the city but living in Westchester, Putnam, or Fairfield counties. Additional subway options are available within a short walk. The 33rd Street station, serving the 4 and 6 lines, is about a 15-minute walk south, providing another point of access to the Lexington Avenue line. For air travel, the Essex House enjoys convenient access to all three major New York City airports. LaGuardia Airport is the closest, approximately a 20-minute drive away. John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport are both reachable in about 25 minutes by car, traffic permitting. These travel times can vary significantly depending on traffic conditions, but the availability of public transit options to all three airports ensures reliable airport access. The neighborhood's high walk score reflects its pedestrian-friendly nature, with many of Midtown's attractions, dining options, and services within easy walking distance. While biking is an option, the area's busy streets and limited dedicated bike lanes mean it may not be the preferred mode of transportation for all residents. The Essex House's central location and proximity to multiple transportation options make it an ideal base for those who value mobility and easy access to all parts of New York City and beyond. Whether commuting to work, exploring the city, or traveling further afield, residents of the Essex House find themselves well-connected to wherever they need to go.
