Property Description for 50 Morningside Drive, 51
Expansive, sunny classic 7 apartment overlooking Morningside Park. There are three bedrooms and two full baths in this extraordinarily large home with a giant open kitchen and lofty living space. Many of the classic pre-war details still exist and have been lovingly preserved including the solid oak doors and glass transoms. The oversized windows include two floor to ceiling French doors in the living room and one in the master bedroom that lets in spectacular views and tremendous amounts of light from the south and east. The kitchen has massive amounts of counter space and impressive appliances consisting of a Miele dishwasher and Sub Zero refrigerator. There is tons of storage including a unique walk in closet off of the second bathroom. The windowed master bath has a large soaking tub and is also generously sized. Among the oldest coops in Manhattan, La Touraine is across the street from Morningside Park, around the corner from Columbia University and not far from the 1, B and C trains and many buses. This old and well established pet friendly, pre-war coop has common storage included in the maintenance, bike storage and laundry in the basement as well as a private garden for the resident's enjoyment..

Morningside Heights | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Due to the large number of institutes of higher learning that are housed within its borders, most notably Columbia University, Morningside Heights has a very definite college-town vibe. It has been dubbed the “Academic Acropolis,” both for the large number of schools and for the fact that the neighborhood is built high atop the Manhattan schist bluffs that are the geological bedrock of NYC. From this vantage point, which is the highest point of land in all of Manhattan, you can take in stunning views of upper Manhattan and the Hudson River. Sunsets are especially breathtaking from Riverside Park.
Walk through Morningside Heights and you’ll see a diverse population, especially when the schools are in session. It has a generally quiet atmosphere, bounded by large green spaces, dotted with small cafes, specialty stores, and restaurants that offer all manner of international cuisine. There is a modest nightlife consisting of intimate bars and small musical venues, many of which are open to the wee hours of the morning, and frequented by students.
Housing is primarily pre-war buildings that have larger apartments and beautiful architecture clustered around Broadway. You can find affordable walk-ups in low-rise buildings on the side streets. Many of the residential buildings in the area actually are owned by Columbia University.
