Completed in 1925, this 18-story prewar cooperative presents classic Upper West Side architecture with an elegantly appointed marble-and-wood lobby and semi-private elevator landings. The 82-unit building offers a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts that retain original period details such as beamed and high ceilings, hardwood/parquet floors, moldings, built-in storage and windowed bathrooms. Residences commonly include generous entry foyers, formal dining galleries, walk-in and built-in closets (including cedar), windowed kitchens with pantry/breakfast bar potential, and provisions for conversion or modernization while preserving prewar character. Shared amenities reflect full-service city living: 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, landscaped roof deck with grill, bicycle room, individual storage lockers, and central laundry — with board approval typically permitting in-unit washers/dryers and central air installation. The coop is pet- and pied-a-terre-friendly, allows up to 80% financing, and maintains active management with occasional assessments and fuel surcharges. Located on the Upper West Side near subway service, Riverside and Central Parks, restaurants, shops and Columbia University, the building supports a lifestyle combining historic detail, substantial apartment footprints, and full-service conveniences.
