Carter's Review

This pleasant, beige-brick, 14-story apartment building was erected in 1915 and is a cooperative with 65 units. The coop allows 50% financing and has a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, and private storage. 

The mid-block building has a canopied entrance and a half-story gray granite base and a two-story arched entrance with foliate decoration. The building has some handsome window reveals on the second story, a doorman and protruding air-conditioners. It has no garage, no balconies, no sidewalk landscaping and no health club. Pied-a-terre and pets OK and washer/dryer allowed with board approval. 

It has a central Upper East Side location that is convenient to many cultural and religious institutions, restaurants and boutiques. It is not too far from Lenox Hill Hospital, the 6 train station at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue, and there is good cross-town bus service on 79th Street.
