Carter Horsley's Review of The Queenston

"This elegant, 6-story, pre-war building is a cooperative with 39 apartments.

The red-brick building has a two-story rusticated limestone base and the façade above the entrance is all limestone. The building has a very impressive, vaulted, five-step-down lobby attended by a part-time doorman and a canopied entrance with spiked sidewalk landscaping. The building has protruding air-conditioners and fire-escapes on 96th Street. It has no garage, and no health club. It is on an attractive street and is very close to Central Park where there is a nearby children's playground." Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

"Many of the apartments have been made contemporary by taking out the maid`s room and creating a larger living room. Most of the apartments are two bedroom with the exception of one very large combined apt. The building is at the corner of Madison Avenue and 96th Street. On 96th Street there is a crosstown bus and the subway is on Lexington and 96th Street, a two block walk. Restaurants include Vico at 92nd and Madison and Sachi on Madison and 94th. The building lobby has pillars and open space. There is no doorman but an efficient buzzer system. The building is very well maintained. The Board is somewhat divided between those who wish to keep the building as it is with low maintenances and those who wish to upgrade the building, having a doorman and other improvements."
