Fabulous Landmark Building!

Here is a wonderful opportunity to live in a landmark building in the highly desirable Sugar Hill neighborhood. The spacious one-bedroom co-op with its wonderful Manhattan skyline views has been impeccably renovated while still retaining its original charm. Designed by Simon Schwartz and Arthur Gross in the Neo-Georgian style, the 1917 treasure was once known as Colonial Parkway Apartments and is perched upon Coogan’s Bluff overlooking Jackie Robinson Park.

You’ll enter a front foyer with a built-in closet bench and an arched entry leading to the rest of the layout. The upper level unit with its original parquet floors must have stories to tell, as the building was once dubbed “Harlem’s House of Celebrities” by legendary poet Langston Hughes. The apartment feels like its own little house, with lovely millwork, bookcases, and vintage lighting fixtures. The large living room with its tall twin windows offers so much sunny space!

A wood and glass-paned door opens to the most delightful bedroom suite with its own hallway, tons of closet space and tall deep-set windows. The bathroom is the perfect combination of new and retro with white wall tile, a chic sink top, and a classic deep-soaking tub with multiple shower heads. Also quite notable is the large, remodeled galley kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a white brick backsplash, a pantry, white quartz counters, and a large window with a deep quartz-topped ledge.

The pet-friendly 14-story building is right across from Jackie Robinson Park and close to the Harlem River. Residents enjoy a terrific lobby, a courtyard garden, two elevators, a live-in super, a part-time door person, and updated laundry facilities. Nearby bars, restaurants and bakeries include Hamilton’s Bar and Kitchen, Kingston Bakery, Bird in Hand, Crispin’s Hell’s Kitchen, and so many more. The 155 Street train is just a couple of blocks away.
