NYC

Ease into the ambient charm of a restored Landmark Sugar Hill brownstone that has been deftly updated with 21st century amenities. The floor-thru is located on the third floor of our home and was originally designed as the elegantly appointed corporate pied a terre for a family member. The huge, open plan 1400 sf apartment features a 16 X 28 living/dining room that flows into the fully equipped open stainless steel galley kitchen with soapstone sink, dw, microwave, freezer and mosaic floor. The master bedroom (18 x 16) features a king size bed, and its own sofa seating ensemble. The other two large 14 x 9. 5 bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the apartment to offer complete privacy. One is furnished with vintage Herman Miller furniture and a double bed, the other with twin 19th c Empire Sleigh beds. Each bedroom has its own separate entrance to the master hall. The bed linens are all cotton and the mattresses are top quality. The art deco 7 x 11 mosaic and tile bath boasts a 6' cast iron tub with both fixed and hand-held showers. The flat has 3 opening skylights, ceiling fans throughout, 8 huge windows with NS exposures overlooking the garden courtyards and the elm lined street. It is wired for cable and secure WIFI. All utilities are included.

The house is located on an ethnically diverse, quiet, safe tree-lined street with street parking and easy access to all major highways and bridges. The Dance Theatre of Harlem, the Hispanic Museum, the 18th century Morris-Jumel Mansion, the Hamilton Grange and several other Colonial and Revolutionary War sites are within the neighborhood.

Nearby Riverbank State Park offers swimming, tennis and basketball courts and both the Hudson River/ Riverside Park and Harlem River Greenways are each less than 1/8 mile away and offer walking and biking around the entire perimeter of Manhattan Island and are an extension of the Eastern United States Greenway.

Yankee Stadium is within walking distance or a short 10 minute bus ride across the Harlem River to the Bronx. Restaurants, markets, personal service establishments and shopping are nearby. City College, Columbia University and Columbia Presbyterian are all within walking distance. The Apollo, Studio Museum and several iconic jazz spots are a short bus ride down to 125th Street. Columbus Circle is an 11 minute metro ride, Times Square is 17 minutes and Carnegie Hall is 20 minutes away.

One of the best and most scenic city bus routes (M3) is at the corner and goes down the north and east sides of Central Park, down "Museum Mile" past the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, to Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village.
