Beautiful, airy prewar residence in elevator building! The home flaunts 9'-7" ceilings, new windows, fireplace, windowed bathroom, formal dining room that can easily convert to a 2nd bedroom, and an updated windowed kitchen with breakfast bar!

Stroll two blocks west to reach the Hudson River Greenway (perfect for jogging, strolling, or cycling along the river) and Riverside Park, which stretches four miles from 72nd Street to 158th Street! You are also right by Riverbank State Park, one of New York's best kept secrets! Lin-Manuel Miranda was shaped into an internationally acclaimed creator by the vibrancy, beauty, and rich cultural landscape of life "In the Heights," and now you too can enjoy one of Manhattan's most rapidly appreciating enclaves!
