Overview of 119 West 96th Street

119 West 96th Street is a charming, low-rise co-op building that was converted in 1989, featuring 60 units across six stories. The building's red-brick façade is complemented by an unusual entrance adorned with a fan-shaped wooden surround and rusticated limestone bands, setting it apart from typical tenement structures. Notably, the building's fire escapes are painted red, creating a striking visual contrast with its neighboring buildings.

Located in a vibrant neighborhood, the building is surrounded by some of the city's most picturesque sidestreets and is in proximity to larger housing developments like Park West Village. Residents benefit from excellent cross-town bus service, with subway stations available at Central Park West and Broadway, enhancing accessibility.

While the building does not offer amenities such as a garage, health club, or doorman, its unique architectural features and location make it an appealing choice for those seeking a quieter living environment in a bustling city.
