Overview of 200 West 70th Street

200 West 70th Street, also known as 211 Amsterdam Avenue, is a 15-story pre-war building designed by the prolific architect George F. Pelham. Originally the Chalfonte Hotel, this beige-brick building now houses 229 rental apartments. Its prominent location is just south of the intersection of Broadway and Amsterdam Avenues, near the 72nd Street Express Subway Station and a few blocks north of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

The building features a handsome rooftop watertank enclosure, a two-story rusticated limestone base, and a large entrance marquee. Notable architectural details include rope column window surrounds and decorative lunettes on the third floor, as well as rope surrounds on the top floor windows. The building also includes retail spaces on Amsterdam Avenue and the popular Café Luxembourg on the side street.

Residents enjoy a range of amenities, including a 24 hour doorman, a superintendent, and a laundry facility. The building is pet friendly, making it an attractive option for pet owners. Apartments in the building are known for their spacious layouts, with some units featuring large bedrooms, ample closet space, and renovated kitchens and bathrooms. Many units offer southern-facing windows, providing plenty of natural light.

The building's listings highlight its proximity to the 1, 2, and 3 train lines, making it a convenient location for commuters. Apartments range from one to two bedrooms, with some units undergoing gut renovations to include modern finishes and fixtures. The combination of historical charm and modern amenities makes 200 West 70th Street a desirable place to live in the Upper West Side.
