Carter’s Review

"This handsome, yellow-brick, 17-story, apartment building was erected in 1928. It was converted to a condominium in 1987 and has 184 apartments.

The building has a one-step-up canopied entrance with a two-story entrance surround, a nice lobby, a doorman, sidewalk landscaping and arched windows with columns on the second floor."

Add Your Own Comment

This "impeccably maintained" full-service Upper West Side condo offers "wonderful" amenities including a "beautiful roof garden," children's room and bike storage. The "prime location" puts you "steps away" from Lincoln Center, Central and Riverside Parks, while the 1,2,3 trains and "all the great restaurants and shopping" are just a block away. Building perks include central laundry and private storage in a "full-service" setting that delivers both convenience and comfort.
