Description

Located on Riverside Drive near Columbia University, historic Fowler Court was designed by architect George F. Pelham in 1908, and this renovated apartment retains an abundance of the charm and character always associated with classic pre-war architecture. In addition to an unusual floor plan which offers the potential to create a second bedroom, the special features include extensive and detailed moldings, an ornately decorative fireplace, and notable oak paneling in the separate dining room. The kitchen and bathroom both have windows and have both been upgraded, new flooring has been installed throughout, and custom closet space has been added to satisfy the greater storage needs of today. The apartment enjoys some pleasant garden views of leafy trees, as well as a substantial amount of light. Pets are allowed, there is bike and general storage, a central laundry room, and a live-in superintendent. Vacant and easy to show, this is a gem from a by-gone era, newly polished and ready for its next proud owner.
