Amenities include a beautifully landscaped common roof deck, a full-time building manager, and a seven-day doorman service from 8 AM to midnight. This condominium is known for its low common charges and taxes.

The condo recently underwent a modernization project, resulting in a brand-new elevator, updated building mechanicals, a newly restored facade, a new roof, and an updated entrance. There is an on-going assessment of $625.00 monthly ending March 2026 for this unit. The coveted location and exceptional building staff make this one of the most desirable buildings in the neighborhood.
