A prewar Manhattan Valley co-op with charming architectural detailing
Situated on the southeast corner of West End Avenue and 104th Street, Cambridge finds itself in a cozy, primarily residential neighborhood. The block is exclusively lined with other prewar brick-clad apartment towers of the same midrise height, featuring sporadically placed classical ornaments in relief, such as cartouches (carved tablets with schools), decorative frieze panels and Art Deco-style sunbursts. Designed in 1926 by New York-based architecture practice Schwartz & Gross, the 15-story structure is swathed in yellow bricks with a two-story rusticated limestone base; the facade features Beaux Art-style embellishments, including its highly stylized entryway with doric columns, a Louis XIV balustrade and scrolled window frames. For those looking for good value on the Upper West Side, the co-op offers classic sixes and sevens with moderate maintenance fees starting at $1.05 million.
Spacious floor plans with additional rooms and ample, deep closets
Eighty-two apartments across 15 stories range from two- to three-bedrooms. There are, however, a handful of four-bedroom combination units. As is typical with prewar layouts, the rooms are generously proportioned with 9’-tall ceilings and come with accompanying formal rooms, including eat-in kitchens with pantries, service entrances, salon-like foyers with multiple deep closets, ensuite primary bedrooms and maid’s rooms, which are reappropriated for many contemporary purposes (e.g., a nursery, office, reading room, library, art studio and so on.) Unrenovated residences showcase classic design flourishes, such as wide arched doorways, wainscotting, and crown, floor and window molding. About half are fashioned with terraces, some average in size, and a few select apartments on higher floors have large private gardens.
Units rarely come on the market, typically just one or two per year. Two-bedrooms, spanning between 1,200 and 1,600 square feet, typically comprise split layouts with two bathrooms (this is rare in prewar buildings, which usually have just one bathroom regardless of size), a proper dining room, an ensuite primary bedroom with a massive walk-in wardrobe and a living room big enough to fit a sofa, two lounge chairs and a credenza. For example, #15B, a corner two-bedroom that was meticulously maintained in its original prewar condition, features a 22-foot-long gallery foyer, mint-condition parquet flooring, partial views of the Hudson River and a kitchen that needs renovating; it sold for $1.65 million in the third quarter of 2023. Three bedrooms, ranging between 1,350 and 1,675 square feet, commonly encompass a classic six-floor plan with a service entrance by the kitchen, a staff room, a long galley-style kitchen, and massive dining and living rooms. For instance, #16A, a three-bedroom with thoughtful renovations — including custom built-in shelving and storage throughout, a bespoke wine closet with a temperate controlled fridge and a laundry room — netted $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Perhaps the grandest listing, #1AC, a four-bedroom combination unit with two living rooms, two entrances and three bathrooms, sold for $2.85 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Full service, plus all the essentials
The elevator building has a round-the-clock door attendant, a live-in superintendent and part-time maintenance staff. Residents can find the laundry facilities on the lower level, which have folding tables and wire baskets. The same subterranean floor houses a bike room and personal storage lockers. However, the star amenity, by far, is the rooftop garden, which offers panoramic views; it is landscaped and furnished with lounge chairs, dining tables, and chairs.
Surrounded by parks and stately prewar buildings
Just north of West 104th Street, the neighborhood is near Manhattan’s biggest park: Central Park, near Glen Span Arch and The Great Hill. To the west, there’s also Riverside, and in this particular pocket, it is nearest to 101st Street Field and Ellington in the Park (a seasonal outdoor bar and restaurant). Besides ample green space, the neighborhood offers many conveniences along the main drag, Broadway, including Home Goods, Target and T.J. Maxx. Most streets, though, are primarily residential, featuring stately townhouses, prewar co-ops and boutique condos. For groceries, residents can shop at nearby grocery stores: Key Food, Westside Market and Whole Foods.
Less than two blocks from the subway
Door to turnstile, it’s a two-minute walk to 103 Street station at Broadway, which provides access to the 1 train. Additionally, 103 Street station at Central Park West — about half a mile west — services the C and B trains. Major nearby thoroughfares, the 97th Street Transverse, Central Park West and Henry Hudson Parkway, make getting around Manhattan easy. For local trips, there is a Citi Bike station at West 104th Street and West End Avenue.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
