The building exemplifies classic pre-war architecture with period-appropriate details including high ceilings, hardwood floors, oak moldings, and transom windows throughout its residences.

The building maintains modern amenities while preserving its historic character, featuring basement storage lockers, a bicycle room, and shared laundry facilities. Security is handled through a newly-installed Butterfly virtual doorman system, and the building maintains a pet-friendly policy.

Residences in The Von Colon typically feature generous proportions with pre-war layouts, multiple exposures, and architectural details such as decorative fireplaces and custom built-ins. Many units retain original features while incorporating contemporary updates, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.

Situated in a prime Upper West Side location, the building offers easy access to numerous amenities including Riverside Park's recreational facilities, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and various dining options along Broadway, Columbus, and Amsterdam Avenues.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
