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

This "elegant" pre-war condominium offers "impressive" architectural details including a "grand marble lobby with soaring ceilings." Residents appreciate the "practical amenities" including basement laundry and "generous storage options." Situated in a "prime Upper East Side location," the building is "steps away" from the Whitney Museum and "prestigious" Madison Avenue boutiques. The "straightforward" board process and "well-organized" management add to this building's appeal.
