Purchased decades ago, the owner fell in love with the history (it was built in 1919) and all the space - interior and exterior (19.83 ft x 94.83 ft lot and 19.8 ft x 42 ft building). It offered privacy, as only a house can offer, and she recognized the upside potential of the neighborhood.

Lovingly cherished throughout the years, the owner customized the house to fit her needs. It is currently configured as a studio apartment on the ground floor and a three-story, 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home above. There are charming details: a classic front porch, an historic entryway and a grand staircase as you enter, a decorative fireplace, exposed brick in the living area that continues into the back dining room and adjacent kitchen. The layout is spacious and affords graciously proportioned rooms,especially upstairs The oversized backyard boasts more than 860 private square feet. The home also features a stackable washer/dryer conveniently situated on the second floor.

In terms of neighborhood, there are amazing local restaurants and sights. Ft. Tryon Park is nearby, as is the Metropolitan Museum of Arts scenic Cloisters. The house is close to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. And there are great transportation options including the express A subway, local 1 subway, express M98 and M4 bus lines,and easy highway access for quick escapes from The City.
