The block is bustling with trucks with building supplies, as well as those with signage that says “Construction, Home Renovations and Removal”. It is convenient to the park, transportation (Express trains on 145th and Lenox, #3, at 145th and the A, B, C &D at 145th Street and the M101 and M102 buses)), restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The building has a new intercom system with remote control door lock, part time Super, community storage. St Charles Borromeo Elementary School is a private school (District 5) that is one city block west of the building.

Upon opening the door to the entry foyer you experience the brightness and spaciousness of this residence. The original prewar details are throughout the apartment. There are windows in each room, hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, archways and french doors that separates the living room from the gracious dining room. A hallway leads to the windowed sunny kitchen. The common area is separate from the living area. The large primary bedroom accommodates a double bed, night tables and a double dresser, window and floor to ceiling closets. The gracious second bedroom has a window and a closet. At the end of the hall is a windowed bathroom with the original bathtub and subway tiles. You have the “canvas” to give this lovely apartment a little TLC and make it your own.

Very important to the new owner of apartment #2D,the assessment was paid by the seller in full. This coop allows pets also. There is a part time super who lives in the building next door. The building is in Community District 110, City Council District 9 and Police Precinct 32.
