Description

Welcome to this beautiful Prewar Penthouse at The Hamilton, an historic, full-service building in the heart of Morningside Heights. This spacious, light-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home faces South and East and offers an ideal blend of modern comfort and classic charm. There are beautiful hardwood floors, 9.5-foot ceilings and abundant natural light throughout the apartment. In addition, an in-unit washer and dryer offer the ultimate convenience.

The large, renovated chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator, granite countertops, and an open layout, which is perfect for both cooking and entertaining. An expansive living/dining area leads into a wonderful gallery space, which can be used as a library or media viewing area. In addition, there is a lovely, large separate living room with arched floor to ceiling windows, which could also be utilized as a formal dining room or a fourth bedroom.

The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, an additional large closet, and a windowed, renovated en suite marble bath with a large shower. There are two additional bedrooms; the first has a wall of closets and double exposure, and the second could also work well as a home office. The additional full, windowed hall bath completes this wing of the home.

The Hamilton, constructed in 1912 and designed by the famed architect Gaetan Aiello in the modern Renaissance style, is primely located at 114th Street, right across from Riverside Park. It is just a few blocks from Columbia University, in a vibrant neighborhood with great dining, convenient grocery shopping and accessible transportation. This full-service, pet-friendly building has a 24-hour doorman, gym, playroom, laundry room, storage, bike storage and a beautiful roof deck. A perfect place to call home.
