Description

THE HOME

Prewar character, exposed brick, and 9.5-foot ceilings set the tone in this distinctive convertible three-bedroom co-op in Morningside Heights, just moments from Columbia University. Thoughtfully updated while retaining the character that makes prewar New York apartments so appealing, this residence offers a comfortable, well-defined layout with rooms that feel purposeful and private.

The renovated eat-in kitchen is a standout, featuring new cabinetry, countertops, flooring, appliances, and a gas range, complemented by exposed brick that brings warmth and texture to the space. The separate living room provides a comfortable gathering space, while the traditional layout allows the kitchen, living area, and bedrooms to each maintain their own identity.

Two generously proportioned bedrooms offer windows and dedicated closets. A third, windowed room with its own closet easily functions as a third bedroom, home office, den, or flexible living space, giving the home versatility as your needs evolve. A renovated bathroom completes the residence.

The combination of 9.5-foot ceilings, exposed brick, prewar proportions, and thoughtful modern updates creates the kind of character that is increasingly difficult to find in a well-located Manhattan co-op.
