Built in 1925 and rising 15 stories, this intimate prewar cooperative is a boutique Upper West Side residence characterized by classic classical proportions and restrained Beaux-Arts detailing. The property was designed with large, gracious floorplans — most frequently three-bedroom Classic 6 and Classic 7 configurations — that preserve high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, picture and plate moldings, and wide-plank hardwood floors. Apartments commonly present formal entry foyers, separate formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens with built-in storage and butler’s pantries, expansive living rooms with oversized picture windows, and multiple windowed bathrooms. Many homes retain prewar millwork and generous closet capacity including walk-ins; several listings show restored kitchens and modern laundry hookups while maintaining historic character. Common areas reflect a low-rise boutique scale: semi-private elevator landings with two apartments per floor, a small staffed lobby, full-time doorman and live-in superintendent, porter service and bicycle storage. Exterior amenities are modest and intimate, including a planted building courtyard and occasional private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet. The building permits pied-a-terres and typically allows up to 75% financing; pet policy restricts dogs. Situated on a tree-lined block a short walk to Central Park, museums, subway lines and neighborhood shops, the cooperative emphasizes refined prewar living with full-service conveniences in a culturally rich residential corridor.
