229 W 97Th St

A seven-story, turn-of-the-century co-op built in 1899 and restored to preserve prewar character. The masonry façade leads into a restored period lobby and a serviceable elevator system (including a renovated wood elevator and a new service elevator). Apartments range from one- to four-bedroom layouts, many with high ceilings, oversize windows, decorative fireplaces, exposed brick, and original details blended with modern upgrades. Interiors commonly feature formal entrance foyers, dining areas, eat-in kitchens or open chef-style kitchens, abundant built-in storage and multiple walk-in closets, windowed bathrooms, and in several units washer/dryer hookups. Common building programs emphasize convenience: a 24-hour attended lobby/doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike room, and private storage. Exterior provisions are modest but practical — building storage and small private outdoor planting balconies. Pet-friendly and with flexible co-op policies (pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and parental purchases typically permitted), the property supports a range of household arrangements. Located on the Upper West Side near the 1/2/3 express subway, the building sits between Central and Riverside Parks and within easy walking distance of grocery stores, restaurants, and cultural amenities, delivering a classic prewar Manhattan lifestyle with modern conveniences.
