174 W 76Th St

A 15-story, prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, this small Rosario Candela–designed building dates to the 1920s and houses roughly a baker’s dozen of two-bedroom homes. Typical units preserve classic prewar proportions: high beamed or 9' ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, generous living and formal dining rooms, windowed kitchens and abundant built-in storage. Many apartments have multiple exposures and large windows that afford open city and skyline views; several listings note renovation updates including modernized kitchens and marble baths. Common areas are understated and resident-focused: a staffed lobby with 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, a bike room, laundry and private storage units. Outdoor amenities include a planted courtyard/garden and a recently refurbished roof deck offering city views. The building enforces cooperative governance standards (including financing limits and pied-a-terre restrictions in some notices) and carries a modest flip tax. Pet policies vary by listing but many units indicate pet-friendly rules. Located within easy walking distance of Central and Riverside Parks, major subway lines (1/2/3 and nearby B/C), and neighborhood grocers and cultural venues, the building delivers classic UWS living with a balance of prewar character and modern conveniences.
