Carter’s Review

"This pleasant, mid-block, Italian Renaissance-palazzo style, apartment building was erected in 1925 and converted to a cooperative in 1984.

It has a very distinctive cornice that is colored blue beneath its arches. The building has a three-story limestone base with a canopied entrance and arched windows on the second floor. It has a concierge and permits protruding air-conditioners. It has no health club, no balconies and no garage."

Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "classic prewar" residence boasts "recently renovated" common areas and enjoys an "enviable location" near Central Park with "excellent dining options" and "diverse shopping" at its doorstep. While the "elegant bones" and "prime location" draw interest, prospective buyers should note "limited financing options" and "complex board dynamics" may require additional planning.
