Experience Morningside Heights magic at Apt 12C at 520 West 110th Street, a top-floor classic 6 room corner apartment flooded with natural light and open city views in a 1911 Beaux Arts prewar condominium.

The well-proportioned living and formal dining rooms are designed side-by-side for easy entertaining and comfortable living. Both rooms feature large bay windows and the dining room has a double exposure with a Western open view towards the Hudson River. The windowed, eat-in kitchen is square with classic cherry wood cabinetry, four burner range, microwave, dishwasher, and a sunny Western corner with banquette seating.

Two spacious bedrooms feature original floor to ceiling closets with overhead storage and large bay windows with southwest exposures, filling the rooms with sunlight throughout the day. The views extend across the city skyline all the way to Midtown Manhattan. These two bedrooms share a large original bathroom with old-school tiling, cast iron bath/shower and pedestal sink. The third bedroom, facing south, is suitable as a nursery, home office or playroom with a convenient, renovated half bathroom. A washer/dryer may be added with board approval.
