Carter’s Review

"This elegant, 6-story, pre-war building is a cooperative with 39 apartments.

The red-brick building has a two-story rusticated limestone base and the façade above the entrance is all limestone. The building has a very impressive, vaulted, five-step-down lobby attended by a part-time doorman and a canopied entrance with spiked sidewalk landscaping. The building has protruding air-conditioners and fire-escapes on 96th Street. It has no garage, and no health club. It is on an attractive street and is very close to Central Park where there is a nearby children's playground."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-maintained" pre-war gem at Madison and 96th offers "modernized layouts" with "contemporary touches" in a prime Upper East Side location. The "pillared lobby" adds classic charm, while the "efficient" security system compensates for the absence of a doorman. "Convenient" to crosstown transit and the subway, with "local dining options" steps away. Most units feature "spacious two-bedrooms" with "enlarged living rooms," though maintenance philosophy remains "traditional."
