A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Ardnaree would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Ardnaree is a six-story, U-shaped apartment house designed in 1909 by Neville & Bagge for Roffler Construction Co. Its recessed entrance court and decorated Renaissance Revival façade give the building an identifiable form within the Morningside Heights Historic District. The 44-residence cooperative stands on West 111th Street just west of Amsterdam Avenue.
Its original development followed the opening of the IRT subway through the neighborhood. Today the building retains prewar apartments with distinct dining rooms and windowed kitchens, alongside combinations that have joined multiple levels. A shared rear garden adds an outdoor component within the block.
Part-time door service and a resident superintendent serve a comparatively low-rise building. The address is close to the Cathedral Parkway–110th Street subway station on Broadway and the southern portion of the Columbia campus. Its immediate setting is a side street within the neighborhood's early apartment-house fabric.
Architecture and unit composition
Ironspot brick, limestone and terra cotta distinguish the exterior. Limestone bands articulate the base, while decorated window surrounds, carved spandrels and pediments organize the upper stories. A bracketed cornice finishes the street façade. The recessed court uses lighter brick and a more restrained entrance surround.
The U-shaped plan introduces court-facing exposures as well as rooms toward the street and rear garden. The original exterior retains historic fire escapes, while entrance and window components have changed over time. LPC identifies the building as a contributing structure within the district.
Interior layouts include conventional one- and two-bedroom homes, larger apartments with separate dining rooms and combinations across floors. High ceilings, hardwood floors and formal room divisions recur. Eat-in kitchens and dining rooms give some apartments a separate daily dining area in addition to the principal living room.
Some two-bedroom layouts have been presented as convertible three-bedrooms because a separate dining room or another room could be repurposed. A conversion changes the way the apartment lives and should be assessed from its resulting floor plan and approved room use.
The combination inventory includes a three-level, four-bedroom home with direct garden access, multiple bathrooms and an elevator-accessible entrance on more than one level. That configuration is a distinct part of the building's larger-apartment history, separate from the standard single-floor residences.
Building operations
The cooperative has a part-time doorman and a live-in superintendent, supported by an elevator, central laundry and bicycle and resident storage. The shared garden is at the rear of the property. Direct access from selected apartments does not turn the entire garden into their private outdoor space.
The building's continuing capital responsibilities include the roof, ornamental masonry and historic exterior components. District designation makes the treatment of visible façade and window work a specific consideration in planning exterior alterations.
The DOF record identifies no development tax abatement. The cooperative is taxed in Class 2. Its R8 residential floor-area ratio exceeds a simple ratio of the building's recorded floor area to lot area, which does not establish legal zoning floor area or permitted future work, while the historic-district designation governs the exterior character of any proposed work.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
