The skylight faces south and therefore has no vistas of Central Park around the corner. It does, however, have views of One57, Extell Corporation’s gigantic mid-block tower across from Carnegie Hall that dramatically changes the Midtown West skyline, towering over the roofs of Central Park South.

The slanted skylight is 16 feet high.

The 10-floor, mid-block building is east of the Essex House and the New York Athletic Club on the same side of the street. It is a block-and-a-half away from a subway station.

The building, which was erected in 1909, has 35 apartments, wood-burning fireplaces, a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a bicycle room. It is pet-friendly.

It has communal balconies on the third and 9th floors and a rusticated two-story base. There is a central small balcony on the 8th floor. Many windows have very short but attractive railings.

The building has a canopied entrance.
