Description
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a top floor 2 bedroom apartment in one of the first co-op buildings in the city, The Spencer, located on a quiet tree-lined street in Morningside Heights right next to the Columbia University campus. Open northern views from the living room, adjoined dining room and master bedroom provide all day sunlight. This classic Five is in pristine condition and maintains most of its original turn-of-the century details: hardwood floors, beautiful wainscoting, transom doors, base moldings, period woodworking, high ceilings and its original cast iron claw-foot tub. Relish in the beauty of the past while enjoying a modern renovated, windowed, eat-in kitchen with stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, generous cabinet space and granite countertops and a generous sized, updated windowed bath.
The Spencer was built in 1904, designed by the renowned architect George F. Pelham following the relocation of Columbia University in 1897. Located perfectly between Riverside and Morningside Parks just off Broadway with easy access to the 1 and A B C and D trains and the countless restaurants, services and shops that thrive in this highly sought after neighborhood.
The building provides every service you could desire with full-time door staff, a live-in super, individual storage and bike room (at no charge), central laundry and your mail is delivered to your door daily. This is a 100% shareholder owned building and is pet friendly! First showing at open house Sunday, December 7th, 1-2:30
