Built in 1930, this 17-story pre-war cooperative rises on a landmarked Upper West Side block near Central Park. The building is a mid-sized elevator co-op with traditional masonry façade, modest landscaped courtyard and a restrained, classically detailed lobby and entrance foyer. Units are primarily one-bedroom apartments that preserve pre-war character: high beamed ceilings, arched doorways, original hardwood and herringbone floors, mouldings, and generous foyer/entrance areas. Typical residences offer windowed kitchens and baths, ample closets and layouts that allow separate dining areas. Common amenities include a part-time doorman (evening coverage), live-in superintendent, on-site laundry, basement storage and bicycle storage; some units purchase additional private storage. The coop’s management permits pied-à-terres, co-purchasers and guarantors and allows subletting after three years of ownership. Building systems are maintained with a resident handyman/porter and recently refreshed communal spaces such as the courtyard and laundry room in select updates. Blocks from Lincoln Center and multiple subway lines, the property delivers a classic pre-war living experience with neighborhood convenience and a service-oriented, well-established co-op governance.
