This Hidden Treasure is a truly unique opportunity to own a majestic top-floor 3-Bed/1.5-Bathroom in The Grinnell, on the market for the first-time in 45 years. The library wall was removed to create a “great room” over 23-foot long with decorative fireplace. Imagine yourself in true pre-war splendor perched over the Audubon Park Historic District of Manhattan.
Panoramic views through expansive oversized windows shine northwest to the GW Bridge and beyond. The windowed kitchen has the original 1910 glass-fronted cabinetry and there's a butler’s pantry hall leading to the wainscoted formal dining room.
Original classic details include hardwood floors, French doors, crown moldings, deep baseboards, capacious closets, leaded glass transoms, and 10-foot ceilings. Only 1 flight up to a splendid roof deck with 360 views of the cityscape and Hudson.
Homes in The Grinnell are of dramatic scale and masterful design by architects Schwartz & Gross, who gave their creation a Mediterranean-style facade with a porte-cochere entryway to an interior courtyard.
Building amenities include attended 18-hour entry, resident superintendent, bicycle room (free), gym (extra), storage units (extra), pets welcome. Solar panels provide ConEdison electric discount.
This is very well managed HDFC co-op with low maintenance making your monthly investment affordable. Certain income restrictions apply.
The Grinnell and environs are ideally suited for today’s varied lifestyles and neighborly values. Stroll along winding streets and grand pre-war buildings to Riverside Park and the Hudson River Greenway. Swim, sport, play at Riverbank State Park, shop at Super Foodtown, or dine at one of the new coffee shops and restaurants along Broadway. You’ll be ideally situated between Columbia University’s burgeoning Manhattanville campus and world-class NY Presbyterian/Columbia Medical Center. Engage in early Americana at the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Hamilton Grange and Audubon sites.
The 1 train (157) is across the street, C (155), M4, M5 and BX6 buses on the corner. Quick auto access at 158 to the West Side Hwy. and George Washington Bridge, and across 155th Street to Yankee Stadium and the Major Deegan Expwy.
