255 W 95Th St

A six-story, twelve-unit pre-war elevator co-op on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, built in 1890 and maintained with period detailing and modern updates. The masonry façade and modest scale reflect typical turn-of-the-century townhouse-on-a-small-scale-block character; interiors conserve high ceilings, tin or decorative ceilings in some units, exposed brick and original moldings alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts and duplexes with features including wood-burning fireplaces, walk-in closets, recessed lighting, built-in cabinetry, and private outdoor spaces ranging from balconies to planted terraces and roof-deck access. Shared amenities are intimate and neighborhood-oriented: a planted common roof deck, a bike room, central laundry, storage opportunities (subject to board approval), and a video intercom entry system. The co-op operates without an underlying mortgage, keeps maintenance relatively low, and enforces board governance that allows pets, limited sublets, gifting and co-purchasing with approval. On-site management is professional though the building may or may not have a live-in superintendent depending on unit; capital assessments have appeared intermittently. Located a block or two from Riverside Park and steps from the 96th Street 1/2/3 subway hub, the building sits amid grocery options, cafés and cultural venues that define the UWS pedestrian lifestyle.
