Estate Condition apartment with park views and charm abound in this spacious and sunny classic 6 apartment. The living room and dining room have been opened up to create a huge living space which is over 21 feet long. Both the living room and one of the bedrooms have glorious treetop views of Morningside Park. Besides the two bedrooms, there is an office/den with half bath that can easily be expanded to create a third bedroom. There are many original details existing including windowed transoms, solid oak doors, intricate inlaid wood floors, high ceilings, and a leaded glass window between the master bedroom and the hallway. Additionally there are wood moldings throughout, well maintained original glass front cabinets in the large windowed kitchen and pedestal sink in the bathroom. La Touraine is among the oldest coops in Manhattan in an area where coops are hard to come by. It is around the corner from Columbia University and not far from the 1, B and C trains and many buses. This self-managed, pet friendly, pre-war co-op 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.
