Description

Welcome to 40 Tiemann Place, apartment 5C, one block from Columbia University's new Manhattanville campus and the #1 subway on 125th Street and Broadway! You read this correctly! The incredibly low maintenance of $572.00/month is bolstered by commercial tenants, anchored by Starbucks and a UPS store.

This distinctive sunny corner home with 10 windows is where rustic charm meets modern conveniences, which includes your very own washer and separate dryer, a renovated open kitchen and breakfast bar and an updated bathroom with a vintage clawfoot tub. The entire apartment is outfitted with custom-designed lighting.

A unique aspect of the apartment is the flexible floorplan: Use it as a 2 or 3 bedroom, or a one bedroom with a separate dining room and home office/guest room. Inviting details include oak floors and doors, lovingly restored to their original state, 9-foot ceilings, French doors, and open views facing East and North. The long entrance gallery is perfect for your artwork and photos.

This well-maintained professionally managed building recently installed a new dual gas-oil boiler, along with a video intercom system and upgraded hallways.

Building policies: Pets and subletting are allowed with Board approval. Secure bike storage in the basement is $5/month.

This nexus West Harlem location lies at the crossroads of the Morningside Heights and Manhattanville neighborhoods.
