Description

Sprawling classic 7 apartment overlooking Morningside Park with open southern and eastern views. Elevated (1/2 floor up ), and substantially set back from the side street, offers one the rare feeling of privacy as well as a serene respite from the day to day hustle. This recently renovated 3 bed/2full bath home is set on a bucolic park block surrounded by a spectacular garden, Being an elevated first floor, allows one to still experience the spectacular park views while also providing ease of entry and exit.

Washer/dryer just a half a flight down. The oversized open loft-like living /dining space has exceptionally high ceilings, stunning brand new built-ins, and seven large windows flanking the eastern and southern walls. This space has also been enhanced with custom designer LED lighting. Off of the dining area is a recently renovated open windowed chef’s kitchen with breakfast counter and top of the line stainless steel appliances.

Caesarstone quartz countertops and an abundance of prep and storage space complete this high-end kitchen. The separate bedroom wing is accessed off of a hallway with three full-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom is outfitted with built-in closets and a dresser.

The en-suite bath has a glass-enclosed step-in shower complete with a rain shower fixture. The second bedroom has been cleverly converted into a multi-use space with a bedroom area and a separate office/playroom. Stunning built-in storage along with a built-in desk complete the space.

The third bedroom is large enough to accommodate a variety of needs, comfortably supporting a queen bed, two twins or bunk beds. Other features include mudroom nook at entrance, city quiet windows, built-in desk area off of dining space and red oak hardwood floors. Spectacular location with Morningside Park offering something for everyone from baseball fields, basketball courts, two brand new playgrounds as well as a convenient dog run.

Storage unit transfers with the sale. Built-in 1904, La Touraine is among the oldest co-ops in Manhattan. It is a pet friendly, 24 unit, co-operative with excellent financials. It also offers additional storage, bike room, laundry as well as a common courtyard.

This home truly provides a level of elegance one has come to expect from a prewar home.
