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 building has a two-story limestone base and limestone quoins with a large rooftop addition with barrel vaulted skylights. The building has a concierge, a doorman, a two-step-up entrance, a large lobby, basement storage, protruding air-conditioners and no sidewalk landscaping, no health club, no garage, no balconies and no roof deck.

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.
