611 West 111th St. #68

Elegant and light-filled, this renovated five-room, corner apartment sits on the top floor of a charming pre-war building and boasts northern, southern, and western exposures. Immaculately restored to preserve the ambiance and sophistication of the early 20th century, with original parquet floors (and added abundant built-in storage).

Designed to welcome your friends and guests, the grand living room is at the heart of this home and opens up to the oversized formal dining room with a bay window, making entertaining effortless. North and south exposures in this dynamic space mean direct sunlight all day for brunches that last the whole afternoon and the feeling of the floor-through apartment.

All windows face large interior courtyards, so street noise is literally unheard of. French doors between the bedroom and dining room give you wide flexibility in how to use the space.

The generous kitchen has a warm terra-cotta tile floor, cherry wood cabinets, Subzero fridge, and a new dishwasher. Grow herbs in the huge, south-facing window.

The Markenfield, located in prime Morningside Heights, is a pet-friendly six-floor coop with an elevator, laundry room, bike room, and storage lockers. This well-maintained building with excellent financials has a live-in super and is located on a tree-lined street with direct access to Riverside Park at the western end.

Half a block to the 1 train, a short walk to Columbia University and St John the Divine. On the same block as the famed Bank St School. Close proximity to Riverside Church, Miller Theater, and Manhattan School of Music.
