The Powellton is a restored prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, completed in 1899 and rising seven stories with 21 residences. The masonry façade and period lobby reflect late-19th-century craftsmanship; interiors frequently display original details such as decorative fireplaces, oak pocket doors, stained wood doors, crown moldings and high (around 10-foot) ceilings. Unit mix ranges from one- and two-bedroom homes to larger three- and four-bedroom layouts and flexible loft-like plans; many apartments are configured with formal dining rooms, separate bedroom wings, and oversized windows providing multiple exposures. Common areas and services are full-service for a boutique building: a staffed 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator service (recently renovated with a service elevator being added), central laundry, bike room, and building storage. Practical conveniences include available private storage, on-site laundry facilities, and in-unit washer/dryers in many units. The cooperative is pet-friendly and permits a variety of ownership arrangements with board approval. Situated between Central Park and Riverside Park and a block from the 1/2/3 express lines, the location offers immediate access to grocery stores, fitness clubs, restaurants, and cultural amenities typical of the Upper West Side lifestyle.
