Broker & Buyer Comments

This "grand dame" 1906 prewar cooperative offers "classic Upper West Side living" with its "stately" 12-story presence and full-time doorman service. The building's prime location "steps from Riverside Park" and "coveted water views" make it a "peaceful urban oasis," while its prewar architectural details speak to its "timeless elegance."
