An eight-story prewar condominium constructed in 1909–1910, this boutique elevator building occupies a tree-lined Upper West Side block steps from Riverside Park. Designed by George F. Pelham, the masonry structure sits within a historic district and retains period details throughout. Residences are primarily two-bedroom layouts with high ceilings, oversized multi-paned windows, hardwood floors with inlaid borders, arched doorways and generous foyer spaces that reflect early 20th-century apartment planning. Units typically include separate formal dining areas, windowed kitchens (many recently renovated with modern appliances and stone counters), multiple closets or walk-in storage and two full bathrooms in larger layouts. Common areas and services are residential in scale: small staffed lobby, live-in superintendent, bicycle and storage rooms, central laundry in the basement and elevator access; there are only four apartments per floor which lends a quieter, more private feel. The condominium operates with historically low common charges and generally sound finances, though periodic capital assessments have been noted. Pet policies are permissive and the building allows pieds-a-terre and investor ownership with a liberal sublet policy. Its Upper West Side location delivers direct access to Riverside Park, local grocers (Whole Foods, Westside Market), Columbia University, and nearby express subway service and neighborhood retail.
