The Strathmore is a full-service cooperative which boasts a doorman, a live-in resident manager, private storage, and bicycle storage which was built in 1909 by the design team of Schwartz and Gross and remains one of the most treasured gems on the ever classic and iconic Riverside Drive. This extraordinary twelve-story building has a distinctive entrance marquee that was originally made of glass with dramatic five-globed torchieres positioned at each side. Rusticated limestone forms the four-story base of the building with dark redbrick comprising the middle stories and a three-story limestone and terra cotta capital rises to meet the rooftop cornice. The cooperative was incorporated in 1967 and is currently comprised of only 48 units. The building also happens to be the filming location from the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel! Pets are welcomed and the building allows for 67% financing.

The building is situated at the edge of the lush, sprawling, yet magically intimate, storied Riverside Park. The utopian 330 acre stretch of paradise running along the west side from the Upper West Side to Washington Heights, is the blissful backyard of those fortunate few who step out their doors to it's sloping lawns, stately trees, joyous ball fields, and meandering paths. Frederick Law Olmsted laid out the first plans for the park in 1872 which included the dignified, beautifully landscaped Riverside Drive. The result, stretching from West 72nd to 125th Streets, was a park with grand, tree-lined boulevards, combined with an English-style rustic park with informally arranged trees and shrubs, contrasting natural enclosures, and open vistas.The development of the park encouraged the construction of mansions along the drive, The Strathmore, included.

The vibrant and eclectic Morningside Heights feels like a little village yet is constantly brimming with energy and offers a delightful mix of fabulous restaurants and authentic shops, unique cultural opportunities, incredible architecture, and plenty of green space, including Sakura Park with more than 2000 Cherry Blossom trees.
