This is a nine-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, completed in 1926 and attributed to Rosario Candela. The masonry building reads as a boutique elevator block with traditional prewar proportions, high ceilings, and substantial windows that provide cross and corner exposures to many units. Typical residences are one- and two-bedroom layouts featuring separate entry foyers, formal or eat-in kitchens, pantry or dressing areas, abundant built-in storage and original millwork with modernized finishes in many apartments. Common areas and services reflect a small, well-managed co-op: a live-in superintendent, weekend porter, central laundry, storage lockers, a bicycle room and a modest planted garden at the rear. The property sits on a tree-lined block a short walk from Riverside Park and close to Broadway’s shops, restaurants and multiple transit lines, giving residents immediate access to green space and neighborhood conveniences. Building policies are relatively flexible for a prewar co-op: pets are permitted, pied-a-terre requests are considered case-by-case, and sponsor/board rules on subletting and financing vary by unit. Overall the building combines prewar architectural character with practical modern updates and neighborhood-oriented services.
