325 East 41st Street is a 1929 pre-war cooperative that benefits from one of the more distinctive micro-locations in Murray Hill: the doorstep of Tudor City, the storied 1920s residential enclave perched above First Avenue and the United Nations. The building shares that quarter's Jazz-Age vintage and its quiet, set-apart character — a pocket of the East Side that feels removed from midtown's pace while sitting minutes from Grand Central, the UN, and the East River.
Converted to cooperative ownership in 1987, the building is a full-service, pet-friendly co-op with a roof garden and a live-in resident manager — the kind of well-run, human-scaled pre-war house that anchors value on the East Side. Its appeal is practical and durable: genuine 1929 construction, an attended lobby, and policies flexible enough — pieds-à-terre and subletting both permitted — to suit a wider range of buyers than the city's stricter cooperatives.
For buyers, this is the East Side's reliable middle ground: pre-war bones and full-time staff at a Murray Hill address, with a board that takes a measured rather than restrictive posture on the policies that matter most.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a ten-story masonry pre-war from the tail end of the 1920s apartment boom, carrying the restrained Art Deco vocabulary of its moment — a solid masonry street wall and a decorative lobby that preserves the 1920s register. Inside, the 94 residences offer the layout logic of the period: defined rooms, real entry foyers in many homes, and the proportion and ceiling height that make pre-war apartments wear well across decades. The mix spans studios through larger family layouts, and the building permits in-unit washer/dryer installation in many lines — a meaningful convenience in a pre-war co-op. Light and outlook improve on the upper floors and toward the roof garden.
Building operations
325 East 41st is run as a full-service cooperative: a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, central laundry, a bicycle room, and private storage, crowned by a landscaped roof garden that gives residents genuine outdoor common space. The board permits pets, pieds-à-terre, and subletting under its guidelines — a flexibility that broadens the building's buyer pool. Financing is available within the customary cooperative parameters; a purchase clears through the standard co-op application and board interview. The combination of attentive staffing and reasonable house rules is the building's operational signature.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01334-0010) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a flexible pre-war co-op, which widens your options. Permitted pieds-à-terre and subletting are not universal in Manhattan cooperatives; here they expand both how you can use the home and your eventual resale audience. Pets are welcome.
You're buying genuine 1929 construction with full staffing. Pre-war proportion, an attended lobby, a live-in resident manager, and a roof garden are the substance buyers come to the East Side for — at a Murray Hill price rather than a Park Avenue one.
Diligence is co-op-standard. Expect a board package and interview, financing within the building's guidelines, and the usual review of the cooperative's financials, reserves, and any planned capital work. Confirm the washer/dryer policy for the specific line you're considering.
What to know if you’re selling
Flexibility is your headline. Pet-friendly, pied-à-terre-friendly, and sublet-friendly policies are a genuine differentiator in the pre-war co-op market — buyers screen for exactly these terms, and they belong at the top of the story.
Sell the location and the roof. The Tudor City-adjacent setting, the proximity to Grand Central and the UN, and the landscaped roof garden are concrete advantages. A specific, livable picture outperforms generic pre-war language.
Benchmark within Murray Hill's pre-war co-ops. Price against comparable full-service cooperatives in the neighborhood; the right buyer is choosing pre-war character and flexible rules over new-development polish, and pricing should reflect that audience.
