Carter’s Review

"This pleasant, 13-story white-brick apartment house was erected in 1910 and designed by Neville & Bagge, who other buildings on the Upper West Side included 131 Riverside drive, 255 West 90th Street, 340 West 81st Street and 801 West End Avenue.

The building, which is known as the Manchester, has a doorman, a live-in superindendent, children's playroom, a bicycle room, stage and some decorative balconies. It is also known at 2880-8 Broadway."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" pre-war co-op near Columbia University offers "old-world charm meets modern convenience" with its "restored marble lobby" and "24/7 white-glove service." The "prime location" at Broadway and 108th puts you steps from Riverside Park and amid a "vibrant" array of restaurants and shops. "Thoughtful amenities" including a children's playroom and bike storage complement the "expertly maintained" building with its "newly renovated elevators" and "attentive" staff including live-in super.
