125 W 96Th St

A six-story prewar cooperative building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, completed in the early 20th century and composed of about twenty residences. The exterior presents understated Art Deco detailing common to the era, and an elevator serves all floors in this boutique profile. Units are primarily studios and one-bedrooms featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, defined entry foyers and period elements such as arched doorways, sunken living rooms and generous built-in closet space. Many apartments have windowed kitchens and bathrooms; some have been renovated with modern stainless appliances and island counters while others retain original finishes ready for restoration. Shared amenities are modest and practical: a live-in superintendent, laundry room and bike storage, plus a video intercom entry system in some units. There is no on-site parking, and pet rules vary by unit but many listings note restrictions (cats commonly allowed, dogs often prohibited). The building’s location places residents within short walking distance of Central and Riverside Parks, major express subway lines (1/2/3 and B/C), and the Columbus Square retail corridor with grocery and retail options, supporting a highly walkable, transit-connected Upper West Side lifestyle.
