Built in 1910, this six-story prewar cooperative occupies a masonry townhouse-style block in the Audubon Park Historic District of Washington Heights. The building contains primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts (with larger convertible units pictured in listings) served by an elevator and a live-in superintendent. Architecturally it retains classic prewar elements: decorative masonry façade, a marble entry lobby, oversized windows, high ceilings and ornamental interior details such as fireplaces, crown moldings, wainscoting and ceiling medallions. Individual residences commonly feature windowed eat-in kitchens, formal dining rooms or breakfast rooms that can convert to additional bedrooms, generous closets, and permitted in-unit washer/dryers. Shared building amenities emphasize practicality and upkeep: a modernized laundry room, virtual video camera intercom, and pet-friendly policies. Parking is not a central feature; private outdoor space is limited to small terraces or balconies under 60 sq ft when available. The property is managed as an HDFC cooperative, so buyers must meet income restrictions and occupants are required to use units as primary residences. Located two blocks from the Hudson River Greenway and Riverside Park and adjacent to major transit (1, A and C trains and multiple bus lines), the building sits in a neighborhood with supermarkets, cafes, cultural institutions and easy access to Columbia University and NewYork–Presbyterian/Columbia medical facilities.
