2360 Amsterdam Ave, 2-E

This meticulously renovated two-bedroom, one-and-a-half home represents a turnkey opportunity to own a gorgeous, spacious home in a rapidly transitioning Washington Heights neighborhood.

Measuring more than 900 square feet, the home is anchored by stunning solid Brazilian walnut floors while recessed LED lights overhead and oversized windows on multiple exposures provide abundant light throughout. The large living/dining area provides abundant space while the nearby kitchen, with floor-to-ceiling tile, updated cabinets, luxe stone countertops and full-size stainless steel appliances, accommodates dinner party prep or a quick breakfast for one with equal ease. The bedrooms are well-sized and windowed, and the bathrooms are nicely outfitted with wall-to-wall tile and modern fixtures. Large closets and beautifully-crafted built-ins throughout home offer ample, convenient storage.

Refined, unexpected touches like black marble window sills and tall, solid-wood baseboards speak to the care and expense that's gone into updating the home, while hidden features like extensive insulation and soundproofing, upgraded electrical and exhaust systems, and high-efficiency heating and cooling will keep the home comfortable for years to come. Technology conveniences are also ever-present, including secure card access and video intercom, networked surveillance system, gigabit networked with two wireless hotspots, wiring throughout (HDMI, S-Video, phone and coax) and smartphone-controlled heating and lighting.

The area is one of the last under-developed neighborhoods in upper Manhattan. With several new developments upcoming and proximity to venerable institutions such as Yeshiva University, New York-Presbyterian Hospital and University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell, the area is poised for an amazing resurgence. Outdoor space surrounds the neighborhood with huge parks lining both the Hudson and Harlem rivers. The nearby George Washington Bridge, NJ Transit bus terminal hub and access to A/C and 1 trains provide effortless transportation to the rest of the city and beyond. This home features low common charges ($553 monthly) and taxes ($77.50 monthly), making it a can't-miss opportunity.
