The Paulding is a ten-story, pre‑war cooperative completed in 1922 and designed by the firm Maynicke & Franke. The 68‑unit building preserves classic period details — beamed and high ceilings, crown moldings, wood‑burning fireplaces, plaster work and original oak floors — while many apartments have been fully renovated with modern mechanicals, high‑end kitchens and contemporary bathrooms. Unit mix ranges from one- to three-bedroom layouts plus occasional maid’s rooms and flexible loft-like conversions; many residences feature formal dining rooms, large eat‑in kitchens, built‑ins, generous closets and private washer/dryers with Board approval. Common areas emphasize landscaped outdoor space: a planted roof deck, a sheltered courtyard garden and private outdoor spaces attached to some units. Building services are full‑service: 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, resident manager, central laundry, bike room, children’s playroom and transferable storage cages for shareholders. Practical policies include pet friendliness, up to 75% financing allowed, no flip tax, but subletting and pied‑à‑terres are restricted. Located in Carnegie Hill near Central Park, the 86th/90th Street subway lines, major museums, Whole Foods and neighborhood schools, The Paulding combines a residential, museum‑rich environment with ample local retail and transit access.
