253 W 73Rd St

Completed in 1926, this 19-story prewar condominium occupies a prominent Upper West Side corner near Broadway between Central and Riverside Parks. Originally constructed as a Masonic club, the conversion preserved grand historic detailing: a two-story atrium lobby with balcony, sweeping staircases and original ornamentation that anchor the building’s public spaces. Residences range from studios and one-bedrooms to three-bedroom layouts and duplex lofts; many units retain high ceilings, oversized windows, exposed brick accents and hardwood floors while renovated kitchens and modern baths have been integrated into period shells. Select homes include terraces, Juliet balconies or private outdoor spaces under 60 sq ft, plus pantry or den areas and in-unit washer/dryer hookups in some apartments. Building services and shared facilities reflect full-service condominium living — 24-hour doormen and concierge, live-in superintendent, package room, central laundry, bicycle storage and a children’s playroom. Practical systems include central heat and air conditioning in many units and video security. Pet-friendly policies are in place. Location is extremely transit- and grocery-friendly: one block to the 1/2/3 subway lines and within easy walking distance of Fairway, Trader Joe’s, Citarella, Lincoln Center and both Central and Riverside Parks, offering an urban lifestyle with direct access to cultural venues and green space.
