Property Description for 605 West 111th Street, 34

Tucked at the end of this charming residential street, leading directly into Riverside Park, sits the Markenfield, an elegant, turn-of-the-century prewar coop. Within it, this spacious north facing two bedroom, originally a Junior 4, has an easy layout, as well as stunning original pre-war detail, including walnut wood flooring and moldings that have been lovingly restored. Soaring high ceilings throughout and a living room bay window round out the aura of classic New York. Beautiful vintage solid pocket doors are a throwback to this time period, and provide separation as well as substance. The two bedrooms are both gracious in size and have abundant closet space. A tastefully renovated eat-in kitchen is equipped with high end appliances, Corian countertops, and a breakfast bar. The building has a live in super, storage units, bike storage and laundry room. The art deco lobby has been fully renovated and new windows and new laundry room are on the way…all paid for with no assessments! This charming Columbia University area has so much to offer if you are looking for a bit more space, light and access to nature while still living in the city. Visit the neighborhood’s many restaurants and cafes, stroll the beautiful gardens of St John the Divine Cathedral, bike along the Hudson River path, or picnic in the park right outside your door. Pets welcome.

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.
