Description

Don't miss this truly special top-floor two bedroom, two bathroom apartment overlooking acres of greenery with a skyline view towards Upper Manhattan, the Bronx and the Upper West Side. The well-maintained residence features a stunning terrace overlooking the lush greenery of 20-acre Marcus Garvey Park, with an expansive city skyline view. An immense area of sky is visible from this top-floor perch, from the morning sky in the east to the sunset in the west, and blue sky overhead. The skyline view includes Riverside Church, the historic Harlem Fire Watch Tower, the New York State building on 125th Street, and a partial view of the George Washington Bridge. The terrace is perfect for a vegetable, herb, moss and flower garden as well as hosting intimate outdoor gatherings. The outdoor space, which is equipped with an electrical outlet and lighting, can accommodate seating for between four to six people. As a ninth-floor corner apartment, breezes freshen the air throughout the apartment with the windows open on a beautiful day. Park greenery and the GW Bridge are visible from every room. The centerpiece of the apartment is its beautiful open kitchen, adjacent to the windowed dining area, which faces the living room with its north- and west-facing windows, abundant light, and park and city views. The stunning kitchen is a chef's desire featuring a Bosch dishwasher, gas stovetop and oven, and a Liebherr refrigerator, plus microwave and ample storage. Generous counter space, with a black matte granite countertop finishes the cooking/preparation area. Kitchen storage abounds, highlighted by three open shelves, one with glass doors, for dishes or display, and two large, 3-tier revolving shelf units. There are two generous built-in spice racks, and cabinets for storage of special dishes, glasses, trays and the like used for family occasions and entertaining. A cabinet above the microwave serves nicely for tall bottles. Also tucked into this kitchen are three small cookbook shelves. Meanwhile, the generous, light-filled master bedroom reveals a walk-in closet with two shelves across the back and on both sides above the clothing racks. From the bed in the master bedroom, a sea of trees and the east tower of the GW Bridge are visible amidst the city view. The cozy second bedroom features a cedar-lined closet with shelf. Three tall cabinets in the dining area provide additional pantry or other multi-purposed storage. A large coat closet with two shelves and tall folding doors for easy access to stored items also is available. A linen closet also has plenty of room for sheets, towels as well as supplies and appliances such as a vacuum. For extra storage, the owner is selling separately a storage unit (which is 45 inches tall, 35 inches wide and four feet deep), located in the building's basement. Both bathrooms feature two 26-inch wide Kohler Catalan medicine cabinets, mirrored inside and out, with ample storage space. There's a tub in the guest bath, while the en suite bathroom has a shower with a bench seat and an overhead heat lamp. Both bathrooms also have under-sink storage. The windows have been treated with 3M Sun Control Window Film to prevent sun damage to apartment contents, and the room-darkening roller shades are top quality. The building is convenient to both the East side (via the 4/5/6) and West side (2/3) at either 116th or 125th Street, as well as many bus lines. Shopping destinations such as Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods are nearby, as will be the highly-anticipated first city-owned grocery store expected to open in 2027 at La Marqueta on 116th Street and Park Avenue. Numerous local shops and restaurants offering a variety of ethnic foods and goods may be found throughout the neighborhood. This apartment has it all. Make it your next home!
