The mid-block building has a one-step-up, canopied entrance with a doorman, a two-story limestone base, eight bandcourses, some decorative façade elements, sidewalk landscaping, and protruding air--conditioners. It has an exposed rooftop watertank, no garage and no health club.

The building is on a pleasant street that has east-bound bus service and the Manhattan Country School. West-bound bus service across Central Park runs on 97th Street. There is a nice playground just inside Central Park on the south side of 96th Street. There is good local shopping and a subway station at 96th Street and Lexington Avenue. The Carnegie Hill neighborhood just to the south has many important cultural institutions, private schools and religious institutions.
