In the heart of Manhattan Valley, this convertible 2BR co-op enjoys the best of the two neighborhoods that it straddles. To the south, its proximity to the Upper West Side affords a degree of regal sophistications while Columbia University's location to the north maintains a youthful and collegiate ambiance. The open layout of the living room and kitchen allows for effortless entertaining and endless possibilities to customize. Sharing a wall in its closets with the living room, the adjacent bedroom can easily be converted into an extension of the parlor or into a dedicated dining area/library. The master bedroom provides privacy from the rest of the unit, connected only via the door and lacking any shared walls; clean exposed brick adorns its western wall while windows to the south opens into a quiet corridor. A deep, oak-paneled closet lies next to the door while in the kitchen a pantry provides ample storage. Heat lamps warm the bathroom during the winter and a window provides ventilation and a cooling breeze during the summer. The co-op maintains flexible policies, focused on attracting new residents that have spurred high sales volume in recent years. A doorman services the entrance from 3pm to 7am. Proximity to the 1 and AC lines offer versatile transportation options while destinations such as Central Park, Morningside Park, Riverside Park as well as Columbia University are accessible by foot.
