230 W 105Th St

A 15-story prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side, completed in 1917 and attributed to architect Gaetan Ajello, this building contains fifteen residences ranging from studios to one-bedroom layouts. The façade and massing reflect early 20th-century townhouse-scaled apartment design while the lobby retains Tiffany-style stained glass and other original prewar detailing. Interiors typically offer high ceilings, large picture windows, hardwood floors and entrance foyers; many units feature eat-in or open kitchens, recessed lighting, generous closet storage and restored moldings. Shared resources include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bicycle storage and a furnished roof deck planted for seating and views. The co-op’s management permits pets (board approval varies), allows pied-à-terre and parental purchasing in many cases, and maintains relatively low maintenance charges supported by stable finances. Situated at a corner location near Broadway, the building sits between Riverside and Central Parks with easy access to subway lines, neighborhood restaurants, cafes, shops, and Columbia/Barnard nearby, offering a classic Upper West Side residential experience blending historic character with modernized apartment finishes.
