565 West 169th Street Upper Manhattan Apartment For Sale

First time on the market in over a decade, Apartment 4I is a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath residence located on the fourth floor of a six-story cooperative with just 53 units. Built in 1917-1918 and converted to a cooperative between 1920 and 1922 - an unusually early conversion for the period - the building has long been known for its stability and strong sense of community.
