105 W 73Rd St

A compact pre-war cooperative on the Upper West Side, completed in 1920 and rising nine stories with just 16 units. The blockstone facade and modest elevator bank reflect traditional early-20th-century townhouse scale rather than tower form. Residences are primarily multi-room layouts—one- to three-bedroom flats—with high beamed ceilings, original moldings, hardwood floors, and many units retaining classic entry foyers and formal dining rooms. Apartments commonly feature windowed kitchens and bathrooms, abundant closet storage, and built-ins such as shelving and window seats. Common areas include a renovated lobby, on-site laundry room, bicycle storage and limited additional storage when available; a live-in superintendent oversees building operations and package acceptance. The landscaped rear garden provides a quiet outdoor amenity for residents. Building policies emphasize cooperative governance: non-smoking rules are in place, pets are permitted with size restrictions and board approval (typically dogs under 30 lbs), and pied-a-terre, parental purchase, and sublet rules vary by unit but are allowed in some instances per house policies. The location is a defining attribute—situated one block from Central Park and a short walk to major subway lines, cultural institutions, grocery markets, and an array of restaurants and shops that shape an Upper West Side urban lifestyle.
