Built in 1915, this intimate seven-story prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side contains ten residences configured primarily as three- and four-bedroom homes. The building presents classic early-20th-century architecture with high ceilings, original wood doors and moldings, decorative fireplaces, and oversized sash windows that provide generous natural light and multiple exposures. Interiors typically preserve prewar details—hardwood floors, crown moldings, transoms and built-in millwork—while many units have been sympathetically renovated to include modern kitchens with stone counters, premium appliances, washer/dryer hook-ups, and upgraded baths with soaking tubs. Several apartments are duplex-like or house-like, offering private outdoor space in the form of yard or terrace for ground-floor units. Common areas are modest and service-oriented: an elevator, basement laundry, bike room, private storage cages and a superintendent; the building also uses a virtual doorman system. The co-op operates with pet-friendly policies and allows pied-à-terre, gifting and certain flexible financing options on a case-by-case basis. Located a half-block from Riverside Park, residents enjoy immediate access to park paths, playgrounds and waterfront promenades, plus nearby groceries, farmers’ markets, dining, and convenient express subway service.
