Elegant 4-Bedroom Residence with Expansive Terrace & River Views in Morningside Heights

Welcome to #18B at the Straus Park Condominium. From the moment you arrive, this remarkable penthouse like home distinguishes itself with a rare and expansive wraparound terrace of nearly 1,000 square feet. Offering sweeping views of the Hudson River, the city skyline, and treetops below, it provides an extraordinary outdoor retreat that seamlessly extends the living experience. Whether for quiet mornings with a cup of coffee or evening gatherings under the open sky, this terrace is the true heart of the residence.

Inside, a gracious foyer sets the tone before opening into an airy, open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. With 10-foot ceilings and oversized windows the space invites natural light from three exposures, creating a bright and uplifting ambiance throughout the day. The great room, measuring more than 25 feet across, is both grand and versatile-ideal for elegant entertaining or tranquil evenings by the gas fireplace, with sunsets painting the horizon.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan separates the private sleeping quarters from the main living space. The primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with four closets and a marble-clad spa five fixture bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub, a steam shower, and dual vanities. Three additional bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, complemented by two full baths-one en suite and the other centrally located for convenience. Throughout the home, rich hardwood floors, abundant closet space, a washer/dryer, and abundant storage enhance both comfort and function.

Life here is further elevated by the full-service amenities of Straus Park Condominium. Residents enjoy the attentiveness of a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a modern fitness center, a children's playroom, stroller and bike storage, and beautifully landscaped roof terraces that offer additional private escapes.

Equally compelling is the home's location in Morningside Heights, a neighborhood defined by both natural beauty and cultural richness. This rare setting offers proximity to three signature parks: Riverside Park, with its waterfront promenades and open lawns; Morningside Park, with its dramatic cliffs, shaded paths, and hidden waterfall; and Central Park, just a short walk away, with its iconic landscapes, meadows, and cultural treasures. What's more is the intimacy of the famous Straus Park, just a block away. Along Broadway and Amsterdam, neighborhood cafés, bookshops, and restaurants add to the welcoming, small-village character of this Upper Manhattan enclave.

This penthouse like residence is more than just a home-it is a rare combination of space, light, and tranquility, offering a refined lifestyle in one of Manhattan's most graceful and storied neighborhoods.
