Carter’s Review

"Lincoln Spencer Arts is a 12-story residential cooperative building at 140 West 69th Street with 237 apartments.

The ornate, pre-war, Beaux-Arts-style building has a two-story stone base, a pronounced and very decorative bandcourse above the third floor, a lesser one above the 10th floor, and a nice projecting cornice and many bay windows and some wrought-iron balconies."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "stunning" prewar gem offers "prime Upper West Side living" just "steps from Central Park." While the hallways may feel like a "labyrinth," the building charms with its "beautiful lobby adorned with fresh flowers" and mix of "well-configured" apartments featuring "soaring ceilings." The "full-service" building boasts a doorman and live-in super, while the "incredibly convenient" location puts you near express trains, "countless restaurants," and neighborhood festivities. Some units feature sleep lofts and washer/dryers, while the "coveted" penthouse duplexes offer private terraces. A "quintessential Upper West Side residence" perfect for those seeking "classic Manhattan living."
