Description


Fantastic opportunity to own this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home at The Columbia Condominium. Light & bright, south exposures in every room, and a large 15' terrace where you can relax, take the air or have an al fresco dinner with friends.

The living room easily accommodates seating and dining, and the pass-through kitchen has plentiful cabinets, a pantry and was updated in 2023 adding an oversized quartz counter (eating bar) on which you could lay out a buffet!

The primary bedroom, at just over 19'is big enough to add an office armoire, has a full bath ensuite and a giant walk in closet, fully fitted out (no wire shelves for you!). The 2nd bedroom easily accommodates a king size bed and there's a 2nd full bath in the hall opposite.

The Columbia, a full service condo, with on site super and managing agent, built 1983, at 35 stories, has one of the most spectacular amenity packages on the entire UWS.

You never have to leave the building to enjoy an Olympic size swimming pool, full gym, basketball court ,sauna, steam room, catering kitchen, game room, playroom, community garden-all included, and a garage that can be accessed through the building (there is a charge for the garage). And at the top, an exquisite roof terrace where you can see for miles.

Laundry in the basement (washer/dryers are allowed in the unit), Verizon Fios ready, and there's even individual storage cages for $500/year. The building recently updated the lobby, hallways and public areas.

Pets are allowed, more than 2 require permission. Pied a terre & guarantors allowed, but no work/live permitted. Easy condo application.

The location is perfect: 2 blocks from Riverside Park, West Side Highway, & the only service station on the entire UWS., The best transportation (1,2,3 Express trains, 96th crosstown, and M104 bus) across the street, Shops, Banks, Westside Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe, dining & every service you can imagine all within a few blocks.

Common charges, taxes and a monthly surcharge of $134, add up to a low $2536/month, incredible for this beautiful home in an amazing building.
