123 W 74Th St

An intimate nine-story prewar co-op constructed in 1924, this Upper West Side building consists predominantly of two-bedroom Classic layouts and flexible convertible plans. The façade and interiors retain traditional prewar character: high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, curved-top divided-light windows, moldings, and built-in bookcases. Apartment configurations frequently include formal dining rooms that can function as dens or third bedrooms, windowed kitchens with occasional upgraded appliances, multiple closets including walk-ins, and in-unit washer/dryer installations allowed on a case-by-case basis. Common areas are quietly scaled and well maintained, with a marble lobby, elevator service, live-in superintendent, and a video intercom entry system. Building amenities prioritize everyday convenience and neighborhood living: central laundry facilities, bike storage, private storage bins (wait list), and a ground-floor communal garden/courtyard for residents. Policies reflect classic co-op governance: limits on outside financing (varying between listings), restrictions on pied-à-terres and subletting, case-by-case pet approvals, and board review requirements for renovations and some installations. Located on a tree-lined block near Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, the property sits a short walk from Central and Riverside Parks and neighborhood retail, transit, supermarkets, and cultural institutions, offering a blend of prewar character with practical, service-oriented building operations.
