The brick and brownstone facade features a prominent stoop with double front doors, a circular bay with rounded dentile cornice as well as an under-stoop entrance to the garden level. It is quietly situated between Broadway and West End Avenue, just around the corner from the Ansonia building and right up the hill from Riverside Park, within the West End - Collegiate Historic District. The house measures 21’ x 68’ on a 102’ lot, with 5 levels, two elevators servicing all floors, five bedrooms, six and one-half baths, a home office or staff quarters, two private outdoor spaces and a 55’ private swimming pool.
