127 W 96Th St

127 West 96th Street is a 17-story prewar cooperative built in 1927 and converted to co-op ownership in 1984 with periodic renovations. The masonry facade and traditional setbacks reflect Upper West Side prewar architecture; interiors retain original elements such as high beamed ceilings, crown moulding, hardwood floors and arched foyer openings while many units have been modernized with renovated kitchens and baths. Apartments range from studios to multi-room three-bedroom layouts, commonly featuring formal entry foyers, generous closets including cedar-lined walk-ins, windowed kitchens or eat-in kitchens, and layouts that separate primary and secondary bedrooms for privacy. The building operates as a full-service property with a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent, elevator service, central laundry, and on-site staff managing maintenance and assessments. Shared amenities include a landscaped garden/courtyard with WiFi, bicycle room, storage room with bins and additional storage by waitlist, and a courtyard garden that functions as resident outdoor space; some apartments include private balconies or outdoor space. Pet-friendly policies and permitted subletting after residency requirements exist alongside restrictions such as limits on co-purchases and pied-à-terre rules; occasional assessments for capital work have applied. Located on the Upper West Side, the building is a short walk to Central Park, Riverside Park, multiple express and local subway lines, and neighborhood grocery, dining and retail destinations.
