The moment...ALL THE PLEASING ASPECTS OF A PRIVATE HOUSE
Step into the timeless elegance of this 3rd floor apartment, where classic grandeur meets modern comfort in a sprawling, sunlit sanctuary. This fully renovated, single-level “townhome-like" retreat offers an impressive abundance of living space, thoughtfully designed for both lively entertaining and tranquil everyday moments. The Grinnell is an outstanding pre-war co-op building in the Historic Audubon Park district of Lower Washington Heights.
The moment you enter this convertible 4-Bed, 2-bath home, you feel the embrace of soaring, turn-of-the-century ceilings and the warmth of natural light streaming through 20 windows on all sides. Gentle cross-breezes fill every room, creating an airy, uplifting atmosphere that instantly feels like home.
Imagine hosting unforgettable gatherings in your expansive 500 sq. ft. living room, where eastern sunlight bathes the space-perfect for thriving indoor plants and morning coffee rituals. Curl up with a good book in your library, or whip up culinary masterpieces in a kitchen that flows into a welcoming dining area with an expansive countertop and breakfast bar. Whether it’s a quiet dinner for two or a festive evening with friends, this home adapts to every occasion.
Generously sized bedrooms, ensure everyone has their own private haven, each with ample closet space to keep life beautifully organized. Wake up to birdsong every morning in the master suite, featuring a walk-in closet that leads to an ultra-modern, minimalist bathroom tiled floor-to-ceiling in pristine white with a faux black marble accent wall, Robern cabinet with defogger, nightlight and hidden electric outlets, dual faucet sink and Toto toilet. Step into a curb-free dual shower with Hansgrohe rain shower and handheld systems that deliver a rejuvenating experience every time.
Guests are treated to their own slice of luxury in the second bathroom, adorned with a sparkling chandelier, a warm nook of blue-grey tiles with a Moroccan design, with Duravit sink and vanity and a Toto toilet. A 3-foot wide Kohler tub invites you to unwind-alone or together-while a waterfall faucet and a Hansgrohe rain-shower and handheld system add a touch of indulgence.
The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and a Caesarstone countertop bar for casual meals or lively conversations. Under-cabinet lighting and a bold black-and-white backsplash bring style and functionality together in perfect harmony.
Life’s daily routines are elevated in the thoughtfully designed laundry room, equipped with a high-capacity washer and dryer, abundant storage, and even a magnetic whiteboard for jotting down ideas or playful doodles while you wait.
