50 W 96Th St

Built in 1929, this 15-story prewar cooperative on the Upper West Side is a full-service elevator building with classic masonry façade and traditional apartment configurations that reflect its late-1920s origins. Interiors typically feature two-bedroom layouts with high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, generous proportions and original prewar details such as moldings, decorative fireplaces and substantial entry foyers. Kitchens are often windowed eat-in spaces; many units show upgraded modern finishes and in-unit washer/dryers where retrofit work has been completed. Common areas include a staffed 24-hour doorman desk, a live-in resident manager/superintendent, a landscaped roof garden/roof deck with city and park views, central laundry facilities, bike storage and additional building storage. The co-op allows pets and considers pied-a-terres on a case-by-case basis; standard co-op rules apply including a flip tax and typical financing allowances (up to roughly 75% financing depending on the offering). Located steps from Central Park, the building benefits from abundant neighborhood amenities — supermarkets, specialty grocers, restaurants, and convenient subway and bus service — making it a classic, service-oriented prewar residence that blends historic character with modernized apartment finishes.
