Back on the market with brand new windows shining throughout! This lovingly restored home is nestled on a charming tree-lined block at the foot of Morningside Heights. Currently used in the original two-bedroom configuration, the full dining room converts easily into a third bedroom. From the moment you enter the sumptuously wallpapered foyer you’ll feel the warmth of the thoughtful design that went into the renovation. The large living room features a bay window, the original functioning pocket doors with original hardware separating it from the adjacent formal dining room, and with both rooms offer almost 10’ high coved ceilings. The whimsical kitchen is a combination of original glass cabinetry, mid-century chic and modern convenience including a SMEG refrigerator, vintage sink and brand new range. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a queen bed and the second bedroom comes equipped with a queen-sized murphy bed. The bathroom offers vintage subway tile, pedestal sink and deep soaking footed tub. You’ll note the loving attention to every detail that went into this home. The woodwork throughout has been stripped to its original stunning beauty and all original transoms are intact with most working. In case the Farrow and Ball wallpaper throughout is not for you, we have included photos where it has been removed virtually to aid your particular vision. Picture railings, original & vintage hardware and hardwood floors throughout plus lovely light all day long from 3 exposures - while at the same time being pin drop quiet - complete this perfect picture. The Markenfield is a two-building beaux-arts style co-op built in 1905 with restored lobby and halls. Financially sound with low maintenance, the building offers a live-in super, storage units, bike storage and laundry room and is pet friendly. Steps to Riverside Park, a block to the subway, 2.5 blocks to Columbia University, and convenient to all the shopping, dining and culture that the neighborhood is known for.
