The Altamonte at 606 West 113th St. #6AD

The ingredients are all here to create your own heavenly 3-bedroom oasis with huge outdoor space in the heart of the vibrant Columbia area. Start with a top-floor architecturally detailed turn-of-the-century home offering 11 ceilings, marquetry floors and a flexible layout — all in excellent condition. Add a dash of magic by exercising your roof rights and developing an outdoor area that touches the sun, the moon and the stars. Mix together and you will have a NYC gem! Stretching across the entire front of this charming building are four major rooms — the eat-in chefs kitchen with inviting window seat, the loft-like living room and dining room, and library or third bedroom. The two additional bedrooms — each in its own wing — and two large, renovated windowed baths with claw-footed tubs complete the interior of this elegant and comfortable home. Enjoy the quiet tree-lined street with easy access to Riverside Park, exceptional public transportation and endless boutiques and eateries!
