This 16-story structure features a beige-brick façade with Italian-Renaissance palazzo styling, including a two-story limestone base and a canopied entrance. The building houses 63 apartments, with only four units per floor, ensuring a sense of privacy and exclusivity.

Located just two blocks from Central Park, the building offers easy access to public transportation, including the 1, B, and C subway lines. The surrounding neighborhood is vibrant, with excellent schools, diverse dining options, and cultural landmarks like the American Museum of Natural History. The area is also known for its charming sidewalk cafés along Columbus Avenue, enhancing the urban living experience.

Common layouts include spacious two-bedroom and three-bedroom configurations, often with flexible spaces that can serve as home offices or additional bedrooms. Notable amenities in select apartments include in-unit washers and dryers, expansive living areas with natural light, and well-appointed kitchens with high-end appliances.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
