Carter's Review

This very, attractive, beige-brick, 15-story building was erected in 1930 and is a cooperative with 69 apartments.

It is a very restrained and subtle Art Deco-style building whose terraced top is nicely accented by fluting.

The building has a prime Carnegie Hill neighborhood location that is close to several private schools and important cultural institutions and has convenient local shopping and restaurants. There is a supermarket around the corner.

It has a three-story limestone base with a very impressive gray marble lobby with great chrome radiator grills and a doorman and there are nice fluted limestone panels between some of its windows. It has no sidewalk landscaping, no garage and no health club.

There is good cross-town bus service on 86th Street and a subway station at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue. Central Park is a block-and-a-half away.
