Overview of The Britannia at 527 West 110th Street

The Britannia, located at 527 West 110th Street in Morningside Heights, is a prewar building completed in 1909 and converted to a condominium in 1986. This nine-story building is renowned for its unique architectural design, featuring non-waterspouting gargoyles and a larger-than-usual center light court. The building's design was described as reminiscent of 'the old English house,' with flanking wings and a central courtyard, offering a distinctive architectural effect over revenue.

The building offers a range of amenities, including a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, storage, and a laundry room. Apartments in The Britannia are characterized by their high ceilings, oversized windows, and hardwood floors. Many units have been tastefully renovated while maintaining prewar details, such as exposed brick and pristine woodwork. The building is pet-friendly, although dogs are not allowed.

The Britannia's location is ideal for those seeking proximity to cultural and educational institutions, being close to Columbia University, Barnard College, and the Manhattan School of Music. Residents enjoy easy access to public transportation, with the number 1 train just half a block away, and are within walking distance of Riverside Park, Central Park, and a variety of restaurants and shops. The building is also known as the 'Gargoyle Building' due to its distinctive architectural features.
