Welcome to a rare find in the always-lovely and seemingly ever low-inventory Manhattan Valley market; this spacious and charmingly renovated 2BR/1BA on the 5th floor of a beautifully maintained elevator building features separate, sun-soaked living and dining rooms with southern exposure, a large windowed kitchen with breakfast bar that gives onto the dining, two quiet bedrooms (the smaller of which has been professionally soundproofed, making it ideal practice room or recording studio), and copious built-ins for the readers and art-lovers among us. A chic and functional closet-to-home-office conversion augments the brightly lit living room.
A uniquely joyful home in an ideal Manhattan Valley location, 235 West 108th Street is planted in one of the most desirable residential blocks in Manhattan Valley, nestled between three parks (Riverside, Central, and Morningside) with easy access to Columbia, Barnard, CCNY, and all the bounties of a vibrant neighborhood.
Located right off Broadway (and the 1 train at 110th), you'll be surrounded by iconic neighbors - like the Hungarian Pastry Shop, facing St. John's Cathedral and bordered by the Peoples Community Garden at 111th, and Community Food and Juice, Silver Moon Bakery, and Bookculture. There are two weekly farmer's markets just a few blocks away (Morningside Park on Saturdays and Columbia on Sundays) and breezy, tree-lined walkability on every day of the week.
This pet-friendly, pre-war building was designed by Schneider & Herter and built during the residential housing boom in the area following Columbia University's move uptown in 1897. With 37 units over six stories, a new laundry room and video security system, the building boasts strong financials, low maintenance, and pet-friendly policies (as pictured!). Bike spots and storage units are available by waitlist.
