TOWNHOUSE HORIZONTAL

Offered for the first time in over 40 years, now is your unique opportunity to own a spacious 4-Bed, 3-bath apartment in The Grinnell, an outstanding pre-war building in the Historic Audubon Park district of Lower Washington Heights. Rarely available, this 10-room home provides ample space for comfortable living and entertaining in a beaucolic setting.

The main entrance hallway leads to a sprawling gallery with living room, library and dining room via French doors. The hallway continues to a secluded wing of bedrooms and baths. The northeast corner primary bedroom is dazzling bright. A second spacious, northwest facing bedroom shares a bath both accessible by a connecting passageway. Another full-size bathroom serves the large, third bedroom. Two former staff rooms flank a third bathroom (missing its tub). One of the rooms may be used as a breakfast room and the other a 4th bedroom, laundry, study or home office.

The windowed kitchen has access via the entrance hall or service door. There's a butler's pantry providing additional space for everyday sundries, dinnerware, crystal and storage. This service hall has a convenient swinging door opens to the formal dining room with its original wainscotting.

Original classic pre-war details throughout include hardwood floors with contrasting inlaid borders, French doors (some with original rolled glass), crown moldings, deep baseboards, capacious closets, leaded glass transoms, and lofty 10-foot ceilings throughout (even the closets). Every room has exterior views through oversized windows - 20 total.

Use your imagination to make this home your very own! Renovation is needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Yes, washer & dryer is permitted and may be installed in various locations.
