Apartments range from studios to four-bedroom units, with many featuring classic prewar details including hardwood floors, high ceilings, entry foyers, and generous closet space.

Many apartments include windowed kitchens, formal dining rooms, and marble bathrooms, with some units offering maid's rooms that can serve as additional bedrooms. Select apartments have in-unit washer/dryers.
Renovated units typically feature modern updates such as quartz or granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and dishwashers while maintaining original architectural character. North facing apartments on higher floors offer particularly desirable views of Riverside Park and the Hudson River, with the master bedrooms and living rooms in these units benefiting from the park exposure and natural light.
The building's location provides immediate access to Riverside Park and places residents steps from Columbia University, Barnard College, and the Manhattan School of Music. The neighborhood offers convenient subway access and proximity to Broadway's restaurants and shops. The building is pet friendly, making it suitable for a range of renters in this academic and residential enclave.
