Built in 1927, this 16-story prewar cooperative on a peaceful tree-lined Upper West Side street presents classic apartment living with restored original details. The limestone-and-brick façade shelters a recently renovated, gracious lobby and a modest set of resident services including a part-time uniformed doorman, a live-in superintendent, porter service, and upgraded passenger and service elevators. Apartment types are primarily multi-room layouts that retain prewar character — high beamed or beamed-like ceilings, hardwood/parquet floors, moldings, arched foyers, and oversized windows with strong southern exposures in many units. Individual residences range from renovated one-bedrooms to large combined units with formal dining rooms, home-office niches, and windowed chef’s kitchens outfitted with high-end appliances in many listings. Building common areas include a small landscaped courtyard, central laundry facilities, bike room and private basement storage bins. The co-op is pet- and pied-à-terre–friendly, permits subletting and co-purchasing under its rules, and typically allows up to 80% financing. Its location places residents steps from Riverside Park, neighborhood markets, restaurants and multiple subway lines, offering a quiet, park-side lifestyle with easy city access.
