Carter’s Review

"This handsome, Italian Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment building was erected in 1923 and converted to a cooperative in 1984.

This building has a canopied, step-up entrance that leads to a rather plain lobby with a concierge. The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has inconsistent fenestration."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" pre-war cooperative offers "classic architectural details" with the convenience of a "part-time doorman" and "attentive" live-in superintendent for building maintenance needs
