609 W 114th St Apt 85

The light, the layout, the storage all line up here in a way that's hard to find. At 609 West 114th Street, Apartment 85 is a large one-bedroom with a true separation between living and dining, six windows bringing in steady light throughout the day, and excellent, usable closet space. The layout is what makes this one stand out. There's a real division between living and dining, which is rare at this price point. North and west exposures bring in consistent light, with open views onto classic New York water towers and the skyline. Both the kitchen and bath are windowed and sit naturally within the layout. Original details like hardwood floors, beams, and built-ins are intact, giving the home character that is rare in this area. The bedroom is quiet and well-proportioned with a renovated bathroom with large tub! There are two hallways that make the layout feel gracious and allows for art collectors to showcase their pieces. There's also flexibility here depending on how someone wants to live, using the living room as an additional sleeping area. Heathcote Hall is a 1911 prewar co-op that from the moment you walk in, you are taken back to another time. The building is well run, with a live-in superintendent and a laundry room, bicycle storage, and a common room for crafts in the basement. There is also a courtyard! The level of upkeep you will notice immediately. The location is what continues to anchor value being near Columbia and Riverside Park, but just as importantly, you're surrounded by some of the neighborhood's best spots with easy dinners at Le Monde, Symposium, and mornings at Wu & Nussbaum and the 1 train around the corner and two excellent grocery stores nearby.
