This charming, spacious and sunny classic 6 apartment, has a living room and dining room that have been opened up to create a huge living space. Both the living room and one of the bedrooms have glorious treetop views of the park. There is an eat in kitchen which is adjacent to the library/den.

It is not often that you will find a pre-war apartment with a mix of contemporary elements and original detail. There are original French doors with glass transoms leading into the living room. A wall of windows facing the park lets in sun from the east allowing for good light all day long. The entry hallway is perfect for displaying artwork and the library has built-in bookcases. This truly is a “home” housed in one of the oldest coops in Manhattan and in an area where coops are hard to come by. There is laundry in the building and storage is included in the apartment. It is conveniently located near several subway lines and many buses. Besides the proximity to Columbia University, it is also near Teachers College, Manhattan School of Music and two Theological Seminaries. Give me a call so that I can have the pleasure of giving you a personal tour of this lovely home.

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.
