The Amherst-Cortlandt is a 12-story building in Morningside Heights, completed in 1909 and converted to a 148-unit condo in 1987 with amenities like a 24-hour doorman, storage, and bike room. Located at 504 Cathedral Parkway, the building is close to parks, Columbia University, restaurants, and shopping, with convenient access to subway stops. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
The Amherst-Cortlandt combines two handsome Secessionist style buildings designed by Schwartz & Cross in 1909 and developed by the Carlyle Realty Co. Originally known as 504 and 510 Cathedral Parkway, the twin 12-story structures were gracefully merged and converted to 148 condominiums in 1984 by Aaron Ziegelman and William K. Langfan. The conversion included creating a shared lobby that absorbed over $600,000 of the nearly $1.5 million renovation budget. Located within the Morningside Heights Historic District, the buildings feature rusticated limestone bases, broad bandcourse balconies, elaborate terra cotta detailing, and full width metal railed balconies at the fourth and 11th stories.
Apartments typically feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, oversized windows with multiple exposures, and abundant closet space including walk-in closets in some units. Many apartments have windowed kitchens and bathrooms, with some units offering floor to ceiling windows and Juliet balconies. Top floor apartments provide open views and exceptional privacy. Layouts range from studios to two bedrooms, with some one bedrooms easily convertible to two.
The building offers a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, bike storage, and package room. Pets are permitted on a case-by-case basis. Located at 504 Cathedral Parkway between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway, the building sits half a block from the 1 train and three blocks from the B/C trains. The location provides immediate access to Columbia University, Barnard College, the Manhattan School of Music, and is within walking distance of Central Park, Riverside Park, and Morningside Park, along with numerous restaurants, cafes, and shopping options that have flourished in the neighborhood since the building's conversion helped spark the area's residential renaissance.
