161 W 75Th St

Built in 1928, this 15-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side reflects classic Rosario Candela–era proportions and detailing. The building houses two- and three-bedroom residences configured with generous entry foyers, high ceilings, original hardwood floors and traditional moldings; many units feature formal dining rooms, decorative fireplaces, abundant built-ins and walk-in closets. Over the years apartments have been thoughtfully modernized with renovated kitchens and marble baths, in-unit washer/dryers in select homes, and restored parquet or oak flooring. Common areas emphasize landscaped outdoor space and social gathering spots including a roof deck, landscaped courtyard garden and a lobby-level patio. Full-service operations include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, bike room, central laundry, storage (with waitlist), and porterage; there is a modest flip tax and periodic capital assessments. The building allows cats and dogs, permits up to 80% financing in many cases, and restricts pied-a-terres. Located on West 75th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, it is minutes from Central Park, Riverside Park, multiple subway lines (1/2/3 and B/C nearby), cultural destinations and neighborhood markets, placing classic prewar living within a highly walkable Upper West Side lifestyle.
