17 East 96th Street: Review and Ratings
between Fifth Avenue & Madison Avenue View Full Building Profile
This handsome, beige-brick, 15-story building was erected in 1923. It is a cooperative with 65 apartments.
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.
6sqft delivers the latest on real estate, architecture, and design, straight from New York City.
