220 Manhattan Avenue   Unit 4J

How would you like an apartment with a quiet view of a large garden as well as some City views in a convenient, full-service building with a large, bright living room, renovated kitchen, lots of storage space and ample bedroom? Available late June 2022, this highly desirable apartment comes with a few caveats. There is a condominium board process that can take some time so it is best to apply early. There is a minimum lease of one year, so even though it is a furnished rental, the condominium will not allow a shorter term. Renters are not allowed pets.

That being said, this home is extremely convenient from a transportation as well as location standpoint. This condominium consists of three buildings with two beautifully landscaped gardens, just for residents. Central Park is just across the avenue (Central Park West), the supermarket is in the building (separate entrance on 110th Street), there is a cafe/bar across the street with indoor and outdoor seating that serves coffee in the morning, wraps and salads for lunch, drinks at night and a great brunch menu on weekends. There is a farmers' market on the corner of Morningside Park, across the way, every Saturday.

Transportation is also extremely accessible with the B and C (and late night A) trains stopping at the Cathedral Parkway station practically under the building. There are five city buses that ply around the building from the M10 that goes up and down Central Park West, the M3 and M4 that go East across the top of the Park and down 5th Avenue through Museum Mile. The M4 goes all the way up Broadway to the Cloisters. The M7 goes down Columbus Avenue starting at Manhattan Avenue across from the frond door to the building down into the Village. The M116 goes from Broadway, past the building to the shopping center on the East River which has a Costco, Target and BestBuy among other outlets. There are also a plethora of taxis (yellow and green) that ply the area.

When it comes to restaurants beyond the aforementioned Cafe Amrita, there are all flavors of cuisine up Frederick Douglass Boulevard (North of Central Park West), down Columbus Avenue and up on Broadway (the Columbia University neighborhood).

Feel free to contact me if you think this apartment is for you and I would be happy to give you more details on the steps to secure it. I also have a strong knowledge of the building complex and the neighborhood, having lived here for decades. With 17 years in the business, I can most likely, help you with property Anywhere!
