Originally built as a co-op in 1959, it is now one of the most beautiful post-war buildings in the area. Because it was always a co-op, the developers made the room sizes larger, the layouts more gracious, and had fewer apartments per floor, as they were meant to be sold, not rented. This co-op has always been a 100% owner occupied building, and owns the commercial space below which affords it a great deal of income. The maintenance for the shareholders is very reasonable and all utilities, INCLUDING ELECTRIC, are included in the monthly maintenance.Features of the building: 24-hour concierge, live-in superintendent, beautiful roof-deck, bike storage, central laundry. Pet and pied-a-terre friendly. There is a private garage with a waiting list (only about 25 spots) and there are many 24-hour garages on the block. The location is fabulous and convenient with great restaurants, food markets, public transportation, parks, library, and post-office all less than a block away. No flip tax.
