Completed in 1937, this seven-story Art Deco cooperative occupies a landscaped lot directly across from Ewen Park in Riverdale. The two-wing elevator building is centered on a grand shared lobby with original wood and marble detailing and arched circulation between wings. Typical units are renovated two-bedrooms and one-bedrooms featuring high ceilings, sunken living rooms, hardwood or inlay parquet floors, spacious entry foyers, eat-in or windowed kitchens, windowed bathrooms, abundant closet storage including walk-ins, and built-in architectural touches such as archways and wrought-iron railings. Common building amenities include an on-site laundry room, mailboxes, live-in superintendent, bicycle storage, and landscaped grounds; there is a parking option via a wait list. Recent mechanical updates noted in listings include new elevators, energy-efficient boiler conversion, and renovated laundry facilities. The coop is pet friendly, has low maintenance charges with heat and hot water commonly included in some units, and sits within walking distance of the 1 train, express and local bus lines, Metro-North access, neighborhood shops, restaurants, and schools, offering a quietly residential, park-adjacent lifestyle.
