545 West 111th Street, 6-B

Stepping into the magnificent restored lobby of the Rockfall Apartment House immediately signals that you are in a special place, and the apartments residing within lives up to the billing. This oversize 4.5 features huge rooms, soaring 10-11ft ceilings, extra wide windows, rich wood and lovely frosted glass doors and transoms, and extensive closets. Beautifully restored and renovated throughout, the apartment is flooded in sunlight from its open south and west exposures. The living/great room faces south as does the master bedroom; the second bedroom is on the corner facing south and west. There are two full bathrooms, including an en-suite for the master bedroom. The new windowed eat-in kitchen is enormous, comfortably accommodating a table for 6 and enjoying energizing light and views from its large west facing window. Thru-wall air conditioning is in every room, and a washer/dryer is also installed.

The fully established building features a full-time doorman, resident superintendent, bike and general storage, a small exercise facility, central laundry room and an outstanding roof deck - perhaps the best of its kind - with teak furniture, plants and stunning panoramic views. It is one block from Riverside Park and steps from multiple transportation modes. West 111th Street is the dynamic Columbia University area's most developed residential community with scores of prospering cooperative buildings running from Amsterdam Avenue (with local landmarks such as V&T's Pizzeria and the Hungarian Pastry Shop) to Riverside Drive.
