Broker & Buyer Comments

"The Manchester cooperative is a full service pre-war on the corner of Broadway and 108th Street in the thriving Columbia University area, replete with restaurants and many shops. You will be happy to note that this apartment is convenient to transportation and only one block to Riverside Park. Built over 100 years ago, this structure combines old world charm with modern day city living. There is a 24 hour concierge, a live in super, and a full time porter. The building has a playroom, newly renovated elevators, bike storage room and a restored marble lobby. And the building has excellent financials."
