Carter’s Review

"This attractive, 8-story, red-brick, pre-war apartment building was erected in 1910. It is a condominium with 60 units.

The lively neighborhood is one of the city's finest architecturally with many superb pre-World War II apartment buildings and some well-designed late 20th Century apartment houses as well. The area has many restaurants and stores. There is a subway station at 86th Street where there is also excellent cross-town bus service."
