605 West 111th Street, 43

Fall in love with this beautifully restored two-bedroom (flex 3) home on a delightful tree-lined block in Morningside Heights. From the moment you enter the sumptuously wallpapered foyer you’ll feel the special appeal that continues to unfold as you wander through the apartment. The large living room and adjacent formal dining room offer almost 10’ high coved ceilings, a bay window, and the original functioning pocket doors with original hardware separating the two rooms. The whimsical kitchen is a combination of original glass cabinetry, mid-century chic and modern convenience including a SMEG refrigerator and vintage sink. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a queen bed and the second bedroom comes equipped with a queen-sized murphy bed. The bathroom offers vintage subway tile, pedestal sink and deep soaking footed tub. You’ll note the loving attention to every detail that went into this home. The woodwork throughout has been stripped to its original stunning beauty and all original transoms are intact with most working. Farrow and Ball wallpaper, picture railing, original & vintage hardware and hardwood floors throughout plus lovely light all day long from 3 exposures, while being pin drop quiet complete this perfect picture. The Markenfield is a two-building beaux-arts style co-op built in 1905 with restored lobby and halls. Financially sound with low maintenance, the building offers a live-in super, storage units, bike storage and laundry room and is pet friendly. A planned and paid for window replacement project should be completed within a few months. Steps to Riverside Park, a block to the subway, 2.5 blocks to Columbia University, and convenient to all the shopping, dining and culture that the neighborhood is known for.
