255 W 95Th St

A six-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side dating to 1890, this intimate elevator building presents classic architecture and residential scale characteristic of late 19th-century New York. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts—many duplexes and multi-room floorplans—featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, built-in millwork and generous storage including walk-in closets and multiple built-ins. Individual residences often showcase prewar details such as exposed brick, tin ceilings, and wood-burning fireplaces alongside modern upgrades like renovated kitchens with stainless appliances, recessed lighting, marble baths and through‑wall air conditioning. Shared spaces reflect a small, well-managed co-op: a staffed lobby with recent cosmetic renovations, video intercom entry, central laundry, bike room, additional storage, and a planted roof deck offering outdoor gathering space. Several apartments have private outdoor areas ranging from Juliet balconies to larger terraces or garden patios. The building permits pets and allows certain flexible ownership arrangements with board approval; pied-à-terre restrictions apply in some units. Garage parking is not listed; street and neighborhood options prevail. Located within easy walking distance of the 96th Street express 1/2/3 subway station, Riverside Park and neighborhood groceries and dining, the building’s footprint supports a pedestrian lifestyle with quick access to parks, transit and Upper West Side conveniences. Maintenance fees are described as notably low in listings, supported by stable financial management and periods without an underlying mortgage.
