A distinguished prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, built in 1925 and rising 16 stories with an intimate scale of roughly three apartments per floor. Designed by Rosario Candela, the building exemplifies classic 1920s residential architecture with plaster moldings, cove ceilings, high ceilings and original hardware preserved in many residences. Units are primarily multi-room Classic Six and two-bedroom configurations featuring formal foyers, separate formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens with pantries, staff/maid rooms (often converted to offices or third bedrooms), abundant built-ins and generous closet storage including walk-in closets. Many apartments offer southern exposures, through-the-window air conditioning, hardwood floors and multiple windows in every room; several units retain original layouts while others have been thoughtfully renovated with modern kitchens and baths. Common building services include a full-time doorman/concierge, live-in superintendent, on-site central laundry, limited storage and bike storage; the co-op is pet friendly and permits in-unit washers/dryers with board approval. Located on a wide, tree-lined block between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, the building provides immediate access to Riverside Park, nearby subway service, neighborhood dining and shopping, and a residential Upper West Side lifestyle blending historic architectural character with full-service conveniences.
