Description

Make this enchanting, turn-of-the-century (the previous one) sanctuary your new home -- a spacious, serene, charming, and one-bedroom oasis on quiet "Little" Riverside Drive, in the heart of historic Morningside Heights. With glorious Riverside Park as your backyard and shopping, restaurants, transportation, and Columbia University conveniently located minutes away on Broadway, you won't have far to go for any daily necessities, provisions, or cultural entertainments. Enter through the building's secure gates and garden courtyard and through the Edwardian-era lobby, to reach Apartment K on a semi-private landing on the first floor of the limestone and red brick, pre-war Fowler Court, built in 1909 by the renowned architect, George Pelham. The recently freshly painted home's windows face westward toward Riverside Park and the Hudson River, with views of Riverside Drive and a garden that is planted in three seasons -- with roses in the summer. Every room has a quiet, street-facing window, through which streams natural light, illuminating the old world character of the apartment's good bones and pre-war details, which can be further restored and have been enhanced with modern amenities. Apartment K features high ceilings, plentiful closets, and hardwood floors throughout. The bedroom has a large closet and a bifold, frosted glass door. The renovated kitchen has ample, lovely quartz counter space and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. A working electric fireplace with a flame effect graces the living room for cozy winter nights and a dining area makes entertaining a pleasure. The windowed bathroom has a separate sink area and a soaking tub and shower. A handy, dedicated storage closet can be rented for a small, extra monthly charge. Move in as is or reimagine it and make it your own. The coop building allows pets, pieds-a-terre, parents buying with children, and guarantors, and has a video intercom and is maintained by a staff that includes a live-in super.
