Carter’s Review

"This attractive, brown-brick, 15-story building was erected in 1928 and converted to a condominium in 1928. It has 52 apartments.

The building has a fine, central and very elegant Upper East Side location that is very close to the Frick Collection and the Whitney Museum of American Art and many world-famous boutiques along Madison Avenue and major art galleries in the vicinity. The high retail rents on Madison Avenue, however, mean that most neighborhood shopping such as supermarkets is not too convenient. Although the nearest subway station is several blocks away, there is good cross-town bus service."

Broker & Buyer Comments

Please note that these comments have not been reviewed or confirmed by CityRealty and may be old, incomplete or otherwise inaccurate. Be sure to consult with a qualified real estate specialist for up-to-date information.

The building has an attractive high ceiling lobby with a marble floor. There is a laudry room in the basement as well as a storage area for bikes. Each apartment has a large storage bin in the basement.

I was the board president of this building for 10 years and a resident for nearly 20. This is a pre-war condominium and the board process is very simple.

Around the corner from The Ralph Lauren flagship store, the building is near many fime boutiques as well as the Whitney Museum, The St. James Episcopal Church and The Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church.
