In 1897, Columbia University moved to Morningside Heights. The years following that relocation brought exciting development, and a newfound residential grace to the area. In 1901, to capitalize on the housing exuberance of the day, 501 West 122nd Street was built right by Morningside Park and just down the hill from the University.
With a prime position on beautiful Seminary Row, this boutique beauty is an architectural and cultural standout -- with a winsome location.
Perfectly set on the coveted, South-facing, sunshiny front of its well-tended building, this easy-to-love residence offers open, bright architectural views on the treeline, and offers the best of two centuries: Many of this heartwarming home’s Pre-WWI details are intact, and meld gracefully with all the comforts and conveniences of today.
The heart of this feel-good home is its comfy living/dining room. With open access to the handsomely renovated, open kitchen (with ample custom cabinets and counters, premium appliances, and a dining bar), this easy-to-love residence is an affordable treasure.
Its two split bedrooms, its renovated, windowed bath (with washer/dryer), and its hardwood floors, high ceilings, and period woodwork all come together in the most practical and pretty ways. The comforting result is a happy home where good form meets fabulous function -- an easy-living, smart, soulful home that works.
Sweetly situated just 3 easy flights up in its pet-friendly, walk-up building with bike storage, this sweet home enjoys a prime perch in its flexibly run cooperative (with on-site Super). Here, you can finance up to 90% of the purchase price, and pied-a-terre and co-purchases are welcome -- as are gifting, guarantors, and one-party-buying-for-another.
Nearby are world-class educational and cultural institutions, both Riverside and Morningside Parks, and a plethora of area dining and shopping destinations.
If convenience and character are priorities, and a relevant, timeless, easy residence is the goal, then welcome to sunshine, welcome to beauty -- welcome home.
