A compact five-story prewar co-op constructed in 1910, this lowrise walk-up of roughly 20 units preserves classic Manhattan architecture and period details. Units are primarily studios and one-bedrooms with tall beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick, decorative fireplaces, and generous closet and built-in storage. Kitchens are a mix of original and renovated windowed layouts; many apartments have windowed bathrooms and in-unit or through-wall AC. Common spaces are modest and practical: a basement laundry room, building storage, and a video/intercom entry system. The property is non-smoking, pet-friendly, and the board evaluates co-purchasing, pied-à-terre and subletting on a case-by-case basis, with some sponsor or no-board units occasionally available. There is no on-site garage; limited private outdoor spaces exist at select units (small patios/balconies). Located on a tree-lined block in Hell’s Kitchen between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, the building offers immediate access to theaters, dining on Ninth Avenue, multiple subway lines, Hudson River Park and Midtown cultural destinations, delivering a mostly quiet residential feel amid a highly walkable urban neighborhood.
