Carter’s Review

"Basking in the glory of its freestanding site, the 38-story Alfred residential condominium tower at 161 West 61st Street was one of the most visible in the Lincoln Center district when it was erected in 1987. 

This neighborhood, however, began to witness a tremendous burst of new construction around 2007 with several glassy new apartment towers sprouted nearby to the south and west and Fordham University began to redevelop its campus south of the Lincoln Ceetner for the Performing Arts to the east. "

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "impeccably maintained" luxury condo offers "prime Lincoln Center living" with an "exclusive" cul-de-sac entrance. Residents rave about the "spectacular" 75-ft lap pool and "comprehensive" health club complete with racquetball court. The "attentive" 24/7 doorman service and "top-notch" staff maintain this "serene oasis," while the "enviable location" puts Central Park and Columbus Circle "at your doorstep." South-facing units boast "breathtaking views," though some apartments "may need updating." A "complete package" of amenities includes playroom, garden and garage, making it a "standout choice" for Upper West Side living.
