The Swannanoa is a ten‑story Neo‑Renaissance prewar elevator co‑op constructed in 1898 and attributed to architect Gilbert A. Schellinger. The masonry façade features rounded bay windows, terra‑cotta ornamentation and a two‑story base with granite pilasters and an imposing portico supported by granite columns. Inside, a restored marble lobby and architecturally detailed front doors lead to two passenger elevators, a live‑in superintendent, package room, modern laundry facilities and a separate storage room for residents. Typical units are one‑bedroom apartments—many with high ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative moldings and multiple large windows that create bright exposures; some upper‑floor residences have expanded layouts, designer renovations and windowed kitchens. Selected apartments include upgraded kitchens with full‑size appliances, renovated windowed bathrooms, custom millwork and in‑unit washer/dryer solutions concealed in cabinetry. The building’s management permits investor purchases, pied‑à‑terres and pets for owners; board approval is required for sublets and there is a minimum 20% down payment for purchases. Located steps from Union Square Park and multiple subway lines (N, R, Q, 4, 5, 6, L), the Swannanoa combines historic architectural presence with modern conveniences and urban access.
