Built in 1900, this six-story prewar condominium on the Upper West Side combines classic masonry presence with modest, well-maintained service amenities. The red-brick façade is enlivened by decorative stone trim and bay windows that reflect turn-of-the-century Manhattan architecture. Internally the building contains studio and small one-bedroom condominium units characterized by high ceilings (around nine feet or higher in some residences), hardwood floors, and period details such as arched hallways and moldings in many apartments. Common areas include a bright double-door lobby with elevator access, a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry facilities, a bike room, and private storage available for a monthly fee. Exterior perks include an adjacent community garden and small planted spaces that provide a pocket of greenery steps from residents’ front doors; select units offer small private outdoor areas under 60 square feet. The building’s management is professionally run, pet policies are case-by-case, and the condominium allows pieds-à-terre and investor-friendly subletting. Located between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, the property sits near Central and Riverside Parks, multiple subway lines (1/2/3 and B/C), grocery and retail options, and cultural institutions, making it a compact, amenity-supported mid-rise well suited to urban living on a leafy, historic block.
