What a gem!! This sprawling, sun-filled 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom prewar home is located in an elegant elevator-serviced prewar building in the coveted Audubon Park Historic District of Washington Heights! It features south-facing open city views, new windows, triple exposures, generous room dimensions, soaring ceilings, fireplace, windowed eat-in kitchen with laundry, separate breakfast room that was formerly a bedroom, and two windowed, renovated bathrooms! The icing on the cake is the home's exceptionally low monthly maintenance of only $662!
Constructed in the early 1900's, 611 West 156th Street boasts gorgeous masonry, beautiful marble lobby, and a large, modernized laundry room. Permitted: in-unit washer/dryer, pets, and up to 90% financing. This is an HDFC cooperative, so home must be used as primary residence, and total annual income cannot exceed $146,592 for households with up to two dependents or $171,024 for households with three or more dependents.
Transportation is a breeze with the 1 train right on the corner, the A & C trains just three blocks away (commute to Columbus Circle in 20 minutes!), and the Bx6, Bx6-SBS, M4, and M5 buses all within a block!
Sandwiched between Columbia University's Manhattanville campus to the south and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center to the north, the neighborhood offers a myriad of mom-and-pop stores, trendy cafes and restaurants, farmers markets, new supermarkets fully stocked with whole foods and organic produce, museums (Hispanic Society Museum & Library, Morris-Jumel Mansion, Cloisters Metropolitan Museum of Art), green spaces, and so much more! Lin-Manuel Miranda was shaped into an internationally acclaimed creator by the vibrancy, beauty, and rich cultural landscape of life "In the Heights," and now you too can enjoy one of Manhattan's most rapidly appreciating enclaves!
Stroll two blocks west to reach the Hudson River Greenway (perfect for jogging, strolling, or cycling along the river) and Riverside Park, which stretches four miles from 72nd to 158th Street and offers a wide range of facilities including baseball fields, basketball courts, fitness equipment, and handball courts!
You are also right by Riverbank State Park, one of New York's best kept secrets! This 28-acre park offers extensive facilities including an indoor Olympic-size pool, a rink for roller skating in the summer and ice-skating in the winter, an 800-seat cultural theater, a 2,500-seat athletic complex with fitness room, a 150-seat restaurant, two additional pools (a 25-yard lap pool and a wading pool), four tennis courts, four basketball courts, softball field, four handball/paddleball courts, 400-meter eight-lane running track surrounding a football/soccer field, two playgrounds, a number of picnic areas, and a walking path featuring spectacular views of the Hudson River, the Palisades, and the George Washington Bridge!
