Carter’s Review

"This handsome, 15-story building was erected in 1928 and is a cooperative with 45 apartments.

While 96th Street is one of the Upper East Side's major cross-town streets, traffic on this block is somewhat mitigated by the fact that west-bound traffic across Central Park flows on 97th Street and only east-bound traffic comes through the park at 96th Street."

This "new construction" gem boasts "excellent finishes" throughout, offering modern "railroad-style" layouts that create distinctive living spaces. While the views primarily face Madison Avenue and 96th Street, the building's contemporary design and quality craftsmanship make it a noteworthy addition to the neighborhood.
