245 W 107th Street #15-G

245 West 107 St. Unit 15G from Rolla on Vimeo. Welcome to Apartment #15G! A striking 2 bedroom/1.5 bath corner apartment atop a prized prewar co-op building in a Manhattan neighborhood where you can walk to Columbia University, Central Park, Riverside Park, and St. John the Divine Cathedral, not to mention enticing grocery stores, cafes, bars, and restaurants. 15G is airy and spacious, with spectacularly unobstructed views that face east and north. The sun streams in through 8 east-facing windows in the mornings, and the lights from the Triboro bridge twinkle in at night. At all times, the unit's high floor and orientation (away from Broadway) provide you with a precious quietness and stillness that is rare in the city. The apartment is well laid out with the foyer leading directly to both the eat-in kitchen and the ample living/dining room. The kitchen, which adjoins a windowed bath, features its own huge window with sightlines all the way to Long Island on the horizon. Stone countertops, white cabinets, and a Bosch dishwasher add allure to the roomy kitchen. The primary bedroom holds a good-sized closet and easily accommodates a king-sized bed and a desk, and could even be subdivided to create a 3rd bedroom. The second bedroom contains a large closet, as does the hallway to the bedrooms. All floors retain the beautiful hardwood parquet patterns that were originally laid down. Finally, the building's spacious, splendid roof deck is replete with a herb garden, umbrellas, teak furniture, and panoramic views and is especially accessible to 15G via a short set of steps or a 1 floor elevator ride. While the co-op is meticulously managed, scoring a Building Energy Efficiency Rating of "A", it is also pet-friendly. Built in 1929, the building displays a stunning old-world lobby with original terrazzo floors. Additional amenities include 24-hr doorman service, a resident building manager, a playroom, a central laundry, and bike and storage rooms. The building staff are very friendly and helpful and there has been almost no turnover over the years. Subway #1 and several bus lines including the M60 to LaGuardia airport quickly connect residents to the rest of New York City.
