Carter's Review
This very handsome 12-story apartment building was erected in 1915 and converted to a condominium in 2008. It is now called the Merrion and is located on the northeast corner at Broadway.
The light-beige brick building has a light court a few feet to the east of its two-step-up entrance that leads to a two-step-up vestibule. The entrance is directly across 88th Street from the garage for the Montana apartments.
It features a three-story limestone base and rusticated masonry quoins. It has balustraded stringcourses at the 4th and 11th floors and a stringcourse at the 10th floor over arched windows on the 9th floor.
Kinlin Rutherfurd Architects are the architects for the conversion that was undertaken by 215 West 88th Street Holdings LLC, of which Philip Eisenberg is a principal.
The building has 98 apartments and amenities include a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in super, rooftop garden, bike room, and a fitness center. There is consistent fenestration, sidewalk landscaping, and protruding air-conditioners.
Kitchens have Sub-Zero refrigerators, Bosch ranges, dishwashers, and microwaves and baths have Kohler tubs.
The building is two blocks from a subway and cross-town service.
