About This Home
As of September 2024Blending contemporary luxury with the historic charm of the Upper West Side, this exquisite two-bedroom condominium with a versatile home office offers an unparalleled living experience in one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Occupying the entire fifth floor of The Columbia House, it effortlessly balances functionality with elegance, allowing for seamless transitions between open and private spaces to suit a variety of lifestyles.
Upon entering from the private keyed elevator, the layout thoughtfully separates the serene sleeping quarters from the vibrant living, dining, and entertainment areas. This design ensures the bedrooms remain pin-drop quiet and relaxed, even as life bustles in the sun-drenched spaces overlooking 108th Street, the heart of the home. Elevated by high ceilings and natural light flooding in from windows at both ends, the apartment feels spacious and airy. The living area, a testament to modern comfort, features a working gas fireplace, setting the stage for memorable gatherings or tranquil evenings. The adjacent chef’s kitchen is a highlight, equipped with premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Viking stove, complemented by ample counter space. Accessible from both bedrooms, the large terrace offers a perfect spot to enjoy a book or coffee amidst the cityscape. A third room, included as a multi-functional space, enriches the apartment’s versatility, serving equally well as a guest room, home office, or personal sanctuary.
Residents benefit from the strong sense of community within the building, underscored by friendly neighbors, an exceptional superintendent, and efficient professional management. The condominium includes a substantial cedar-paneled storage closet in the basement, enhancing the practical luxury of this residence. Nestled between Riverside and Central Parks, close to Columbia University, minutes from multiple subway lines and surrounded by vibrant restaurants on Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, The Columbia House not only promises a sophisticated urban lifestyle but delivers a harmonious blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. This condominium is the key to living magnificently in the heart of Manhattan.
