Property Description for 50 Morningside Drive, 1
Sprawling classic 7 apartment overlooking Morningside Park. There are three bedrooms and two full baths in this recently refurbished pre-war apartment. This extraordinarily large home has an open living room with dining area off of the windowed kitchen. The apartment can easily convert to four bedrooms. Because this is a high first floor corner apartment, you get great light from the south and east with a view of Morningside Park. There are exceptionally high ceilings, brand new stainless steel appliances including a five burner stove and a dishwasher, wonderful closet space and newly installed wood floors. Added to that, are original solid oak doors with windowed transoms and crown molding. 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 train. This self-managed pre-war co-op has common storage, bike storage and laundry in the basement. Floor plan coming soon.

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.
