230 W 105Th St

A prewar, full-service cooperative on the Upper West Side built in 1917 and rising 15 stories, the Overdene exemplifies early 20th-century Manhattan apartment design. Designed by Gaetan Ajello, the building presents a historically detailed lobby with stained-glass windows and preserved decorative moldings. Residences are predominantly studios and one-bedrooms (though larger multi-room apartments appear in representative listings), featuring high ceilings, oversized windows, hardwood and parquet floors, and classic prewar elements such as picture rails, archways, and generous foyers. Kitchens are often eat-in layouts with adjacent pantry/office spaces; many units retain original plaster walls and deep closet storage. Common areas and services include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bicycle and general storage, and a furnished, planted roof deck with open city and river views. The co-op is pet-friendly (with board approval), permits common financing arrangements, and historically maintains low monthly maintenance. Located at 230 West 105th Street near Broadway, the building sits between Riverside and Central Parks, a short walk to subways, shops, restaurants, Columbia/Barnard, and multiple bus lines, offering a classic Upper West Side urban lifestyle.
