240 W 98Th St

A distinguished pre-war condominium on the Upper West Side, built in 1923 and rising 14 stories, the building was executed by the noted firm Schwartz & Gross and retains classic architectural detailing. Units are large, often 4–5 bedroom classic layouts with high ceilings, formal foyers, separate dining rooms, windowed kitchens and generous storage; many residences feature original moldings, inlaid or herringbone hardwood floors, coffered or beamed ceilings, and gracious gallery-style hallways. The building’s public spaces have been sensitively restored: a decorative lobby, refurbished elevators and two street entrances convey an air of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Full-service staffing includes a 24-hour doorman, concierge, porters and a live-in resident manager; on-site conveniences comprise central laundry, bicycle room, private storage lockers and building storage areas. Pet-friendly policies and allowance for washer/dryer installations (with board approval in some units) reflect a balance of historical character and modern needs. Located midblock near 96th Street on the Upper West Side, the property is a short walk to both Riverside and Central Parks, multiple subway lines (1/2/3 and B/C), and a dense mix of restaurants, markets and cultural venues, offering a neighborhood lifestyle that blends urban convenience with leafy park access.
