Carter Horsley's Review of The Charles House

"This white-and-gray-brick apartment house occupies the entire block-front on the east side of Madison Avenue between 77th and 78th Streets.

White/gray-brick apartment buildings have not garnered many architectural accolades, but this one certainly is above average. It has some bay windows and some terraces, but its best feature is that most of its second-story along the avenue is indented, which gives the building an important "visual" lift as it seems to levitate the quite considerable mass of the building above it. The central portion of the façade along the avenue is recessed above the second floor, which also helps lessen the building's sense of mass." Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

"Nice Condo in a neighborhood of Strict Coops. Lobby is a little outdated, very nice hotel-like hallways. Gracious apartments with big bedrooms and ample closet space. Good building in superb location."

"The location is hard to beat; these blocks are pretty, no doubt about it. Service is attentive. Because the building is shallow on 78th but a full block long on Madison, the apartments get great light. The kitchens are a good size but this is not for the person who requires a spa-like bathroom."
