Broker & Buyer Comments

This "charming" prewar walk-up on the Upper West Side offers "beautifully renovated" units featuring "soaring ceilings" and "contemporary kitchens" with stainless steel appliances. The "prime location" puts you steps from Central Park, Museum of Natural History and "excellent transportation options," while the no-board-approval policy makes for "hassle-free" ownership. Though the five-flight climb is "not for the faint of heart," residents appreciate the building's "well-maintained" character and "convenient" laundry room.
