WASHINGTON HTS | TRIPLE MINT RENOVATION | PRE-WAR | 2 BEDROOM with FORMAL DINING ROOM |
Welcome to 371 Fort Washington Avenue Apartment 3E! A rare gem in the Cabrini Enclave of Washington Heights. This pristine, generously-laid-out classic-five coop apartment has two bedrooms, one bath and a brand new triple mint renovation. Less than 10 Blocks from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, and reminiscent of a by-gone era of New York, it is the perfect home for a medical professional with no additional hours in the day for an extended commute.
While remaining true to the original prewar style, 3E has received all-new appliances, refinished floors, new ACs, new lighting fixtures (including sconces in the living and dining), and new window treatments. New electrical wiring has been run throughout the apartment, including separate lines for Washer/Dryer, appliances and ACs. The plumbing inside the apartment is new, as well.
The apartment honors the original layout, boasting an expansive living space. The large rooms feel open, while allowing for privacy and quiet, when desired, beginning with an impressively sized foyer, that brings light into other rooms through the living room’s French doors. The space further opens up into a dining room large enough to host memorable feasts.
The freshly tiled kitchen with windowed breakfast nook, has been fitted with new cabinets and ample storage space, new stainless steel appliances, and a laundry closet with a new washer/dryer. Off the kitchen a pantry with a large closet provides additional storage for household necessities.
The colossal living room invites sky and life in, with trees right outside the windows while providing audible privacy for entertaining, or watching a movie, while others sleep. Its size allows for a multitude of configurations, suiting both needs now, and providing options for growth.
Both the master and second bedroom are large, have big closets, and windows that bring both light and nature in. The expanded bathroom has all new fixtures and is tiled with onyx.
