Perched atop a well-maintained cooperative at the corner of Morningside Avenue and West 120th Street, with Morningside Park just outside your door, this thoughtfully renovated three-bedroom residence offers an exceptional combination of light, privacy, generous proportions, and value in the heart of Morningside Heights.
Situated on the fifth and top floor, the home enjoys open sky and park views, abundant natural light, and a remarkable sense of tranquility. With only two apartments per floor and no neighbors above, the residence feels peaceful and secluded—a rare retreat from the energy of the city. From the windows, treetop vistas extend toward the Hudson River and New Jersey, creating an airy, elevated backdrop throughout the day.
The spacious layout is designed for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining, featuring an expansive living and dining area, a generously sized primary suite with an en-suite bathroom, and two well-proportioned secondary bedrooms. Each offers exceptional flexibility, easily accommodating a guest room, nursery, home office, dressing room, or creative space. Storage is another standout feature, with an oversized closet in the primary bedroom, large closets in both secondary bedrooms, and abundant storage throughout—an uncommon luxury in New York City.
Renovated with a timeless aesthetic, the windowed kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and a classic white tile backsplash. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with modern fixtures and finishes, while beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home.
The cooperative is exceptionally well maintained, with engaged ownership and professional management committed to preserving the building while keeping monthly maintenance affordable at just $1,180.
Perfectly positioned just blocks from the A, B, C, and D subway lines, the apartment offers convenient access throughout Manhattan and beyond. Columbia University is moments away, Morningside Park serves as your backyard, and the surrounding neighborhood is rich with acclaimed restaurants, cafés, neighborhood bars, local shops, and everyday conveniences.
Please note that this is a walk-up building. For buyers who appreciate the benefits of a top-floor home, the climb is rewarded with exceptional light, privacy, quiet, and uninterrupted views that are rarely found at this price point.
