345 W 145th St

A midcentury 14-story cooperative completed in 1957, this neighborhood midrise contains 53 units primarily laid out as one- to three-bedroom apartments. The facade and massing are typical of postwar residential towers, with a modest lobby and elevator access to all floors. Common interior features emphasize everyday convenience: a staffed 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, secure bike and storage rooms, and an on-site garage (fee-based). Many residences include windowed kitchens, separate dining areas or eat-in kitchens, multiple closets, hardwood floors and sizeable sightlines from corner and high-floor units. The building permits flexible ownership arrangements uncommon in stricter cooperatives — pied-à-terres, parental purchases, co-purchase and liberal subletting after a short holding period are allowed — and maintains a pet-friendly policy. Outdoors, private terraces or small private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet appear in some units; there are no extensive landscaped grounds or formal exterior amenities. Located at the crossroads of Hamilton Heights and Sugar Hill in upper Manhattan, the property is immediately adjacent to A/B/C/D subway access and a cluster of everyday services, parks and grocery options, placing urban transit and neighborhood conveniences within a short walk.
