203 West 112th Street, CE

This sprawling 3-bedroom condominium at The Washington Irving boasts approximately 1,550 sf indoors and 630 sf outdoors. The centerpiece of the home is the lushly planted and meticulously renovated courtyard for the co-exclusive use of the two garden apartments. Indoors, the generous living room features exposed brick walls, handsome window moldings, hardwood floors, and an east-facing glass block wall. Each of the 3 bedrooms has a window facing west, overlooking the gorgeous shared courtyard. The large, windowed bathroom also faces west. If desired, this home could accommodate a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout (see alternate floor plan). The recently renovated eat-in kitchen is a cook’s dream, with a 5-burner Samsung gas range, Samsung wall-mounted microwave, a stainless steel Frigidaire dishwasher and refrigerator and double sink. The central kitchen island provides plentiful storage and work space on the marble top and can double as a buffet when entertaining. The kitchen also houses the stacking Samsung washer & dryer. The north end of the kitchen/dining area leads to your own pristine private patio garden, while the side door on the west side takes you to the shared covered dining patio. The shared courtyard encompasses an open-air planted area, complete with irrigation system and thoughtful lighting, as well as a covered patio for dining in the shade. Built in 1898, The Washington Irving is a boutique 13-unit condominium with a beautiful terracotta and marble lobby, part-time doorman, and a common roof deck. A sizable storage cage transfers with the unit, and there is also bicycle storage in this pet-friendly building. The location is sublime — two blocks from Central Park and a short stroll to the 2/3/B/C subways. You are also one block from Restaurant Row, and a quick trip to Levain Bakery, Lidl, Columbia, St John the Divine, Teacher’s College, Morningside Park, Whole Foods, and several bus lines.
