Carter's Review

This handsome, brown-brick residential building was erected in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1949.

The 10-story building has about 35 apartments.

For many years, it was just a few doors down from the very famous La Caravelle Restaurant at 33 West 55th Street, which closed in 2004.

It has a prime central midtown location that is convenient to many fine hotels and stores and churches and the Museum of Modern Art.

The building has fireplaces and a canopied entrance flanked by limestone columns and lighting sconces. It also has windowed kitchens and windowed baths and is pet friendly.

The façade has 2 small iron balconies on the fourth, 2 on the sixth floor and 4 on the eighth floor.

The building has a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, basement storage, a cornice and a bandcourse above the second floor.

There is no sidewalk landscaping, no garage and no roof deck and it permits protruding air-conditioners.
