Built in 1930, this 17-story prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side contains a small collection of two- and three-bedroom residences arranged in classic prewar configurations. The masonry façade and traditional setbacks reflect period architecture; interiors commonly retain high ceilings, herringbone hardwood floors, arched doorways and original moldings alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms in many units. Apartments typically include formal entry foyers, separate dining rooms or galleries, ample closet and storage space, and some private outdoor space under 60 square feet. The building offers staffed services and practical conveniences: a 24-hour elevator operator, live-in superintendent, mail delivered to doors, a bike room, central laundry, private storage and building storage. It is pet-friendly and allows in-unit washer/dryers with board approval in many cases; pied-à-terre and subletting policies are generally restricted or considered case-by-case. Located steps from Central Park, multiple subway lines and neighborhood shopping and groceries, the property provides a traditional, well-maintained co-op lifestyle that blends historic architectural character with modernized apartment finishes and everyday urban conveniences.
