GREAT VALUE AND CHARM ON CLAREMONT AVENUE! Welcome to the bright, sunny, serene beauty of Claremont Avenue. Just when you thought you had exhausted all Manhattan neighborhoods looking for a 1 bedroom apartment within your budget and with low maintenance charges, here's a charmer you may have missed: an exceptional value in the outstanding Morningside Heights neighborhood near Columbia University. This is a must see home and location! This inviting and comfortable Co-op apartment has eastern and southern exposures with large windows in all rooms, high ceilings and open views. As you enter, you feel space, light and air. Refinished floors and kitchen. Well maintained six story elevator building with laundry facility, basement storage locker and separate bicycle storage also in the basement. The Super lives in the building. Claremont Avenue is part of a vibrant and desirable residential and academic neighborhood. One block east of Riverside Drive, Claremont Avenue runs eight blocks north from Columbia College/Barnard College at 116th Street. The co-op building is half a block from Riverside Church and Union Theological Seminary, next door to the Manhattan School of Music, and across the street from Columbia's International House and Sakura Park. (Sakura Park owes its name to the more than 2,000 cherry trees delivered to the parks in New York City from Japan in 1912.) Nearby is Teacher's College. A block away are Riverside Park and the Hudson River, with Grant's Tomb and NYC Parks Department tennis courts at 120th Street. Also nearby are diverse restaurants and cafés, including Pisticci, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Floridita, Le Monde, Community Food & Juice, Tom's Restaurant (of Seinfeld fame) and the venerable Hungarian Pastry Shop. Fairway Market, West Side Market and Whole Foods are within easy walking distance. The M5, M4, M104 and M60 buses and the Broadway #1 subway stops are within 2 blocks. A new neighborhood attraction is Columbia University's 17-acre Manhattanville Campus expansion between125th and 133rd Streets, with three centers already completed--a collaborative design by the Pritzker Prize-winning Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Davis Brody Bond LLP and Body Lawson Associates, as follows: Jerome L. Greene Science Center / Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute; Lenfest Center for the Arts / Columbia School of the Arts / Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery; and The Forum and Academic Conference Center. There is public access to facilities in these buildings.
