255 W 98Th St

A landmarked prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, completed in 1906 and rising ten stories with roughly 32 residences. The architecture and interiors reflect early 20th-century design: tall ceilings, plaster cove moldings, original parquet floors with inlaid borders, glazed mahogany French doors, stained-glass accents, and extensive woodwork including mahogany and oak paneling. Typical apartments are classic multi-room layouts—three- to four-bedroom Classic Six configurations—with formal dining rooms, entrance foyers, eat-in kitchens and flexible maid’s rooms that commonly serve as dens or offices. Many units have been sensitively renovated to combine original details with modern kitchens and baths, and several feature multiple exposures and generous closet storage. Common areas include a recently refreshed lobby, elevator service, a manicured communal roof deck with multiple seating areas, bike room, card-operated laundry, and private storage rooms. Building operations are supported by a live-in superintendent and relatively low monthly maintenance for the neighborhood. Pet policies and sublet/pied-a-terre rules are board-governed; pied-a-terres, gifting and sublets are permitted with approval. The location places residents a short walk from Riverside and Central Parks, the 96th Street express subway, neighborhood grocers and dining along Broadway and Columbus Avenue.
