The Del Monte is a seven-story, Romanesque/Renaissance Revival elevator cooperative completed in 1891 and designed by Gilbert A. Schellinger. Its exterior retains historic brownstone ornament, ironwork, and masonry typical of late 19th-century Upper West Side architecture. The building contains roughly 50 units following past reconfigurations and some apartment combinations; it presents a restored period lobby with mosaic flooring and wide, window-lit hallways. Interiors across apartments commonly display prewar details—high ceilings, original wood moldings and shutters, decorative fireplaces, exposed brick, and hardwood floors—alongside modern upgrades like renovated kitchens and in-unit washer/dryers in many units. Unit mixes are primarily two-bedroom layouts though multiple listings reference one- to four-bedroom plans and duplex maisonettes resulting from combinations. Common building amenities include an attended live-in superintendent, porter, video intercom/security, elevator, bike room, common laundry, and limited additional storage (waitlist). The cooperative’s board considers pets, pied-à-terres, guarantors, co-purchases and gifting on a case-by-case basis. Located on the southwest corner of West 75th Street and Columbus Avenue, the address sits one block from Central Park and within immediate walking distance of Riverside Park, the American Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center, multiple subway lines, grocery markets and an active retail corridor, offering a historically rooted, neighborhood-centric Upper West Side lifestyle.
