This 12-story, pale yellow-brick apartment building was erected in 1910 and has 72 condominium units. The building features decorative masonry, a roof deck, and a doorman, and is located in a architecturally rich neighborhood with excellent amenities and transportation options.
The Adamston at 251 West 89th Street is a 12 story pre-war condominium designed by renowned architects George and Edward Blum and completed in 1910. Converted to condominium in the mid 1980s, the pale yellow brick building contains 72 apartments and showcases exceptional Beaux Arts architecture with striking stained glass windows and skylights in the marble lobby, twin Carrara marble staircases winding through the interior, lacy terra cotta details, and extensive decorative ironwork. The building sits on a quiet, tree lined block between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, across from the Abraham Joshua Herschel School.
Apartments feature the gracious proportions typical of pre-war design, with 10 foot plus ceilings, original moldings, and hardwood floors, many in herringbone patterns. Classic seven layouts are common throughout the building, offering spacious rooms with formal dining areas, original decorative fireplaces, and custom built ins. Recent renovations in various units have introduced chef grade appliances including Wolf ranges and ovens and Sub-Zero refrigerators, while preserving historic character. The building permits central air conditioning and in-unit washer/dryers, and many apartments feature custom closet systems and abundant storage. The 12th floor penthouse units are particularly notable for their triple exposures, skylights, and open city views.
Building amenities include a full time doorman, live-in superintendent, and a beautifully landscaped rooftop deck with open city views. Additional conveniences include basement storage, bike storage, a common laundry room, and a pet friendly policy. The building has undergone recent capital improvements including elevator modernization, sidewalk replacement, updated gas lines, and Local Law 11 compliance work.
The location provides easy access to both Central Park and Riverside Park, with proximity to the 1/2/3 subway lines at 86th Street and the B/C trains. The neighborhood offers abundant dining, shopping, and cultural opportunities in one of the Upper West Side's most architecturally distinguished residential areas.
