Property Description
Historic grandeur + pre-war craftsmanship in quiet enclave (Audubon Park vs. Manhattan chaos)
Rare Opportunity in the Historic Grinnell. Available for the first time in four decades, this expansive residence offers pre-war craftsmanship and grand proportions. Nestled in the heart of the Audubon Park Historic District, this southern Washington Heights gem combines timeless architectural detail in a serene, bucolic environment. A truly unique chance to own a move-in-ready sanctuary in one of Manhattan's most prestigious heritage buildings. On 2nd floor.

NEIGHBORHOOD
The Audubon Park area and Washington Heights environs are ideally suited for today's varied lifestyles. Stroll along winding streets past grand pre-war buildings to Riverside Park and the Hudson River Greenway. Swim, sport & play at Riverbank State Park, shop at Super Foodtown, international bodegas & seasonal local greenmarkets, or dine at one of the new multi-cuisine restaurants along Broadway. You'll be ideally situated between Columbia University's burgeoning Manhattanville campus and world-class NY Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. Engage in early Americana at the Morris-Jumel Mansion (George Washington really slept there), Hamilton Grange, and Audubon Park sites.
“The vast majority of the buildings within the Audubon Historic District are highly intact, retaining the vibrant architectural details and character that attracted residents to the area a century ago. The curving streets and dramatic vistas that result from the hilly topography continue to define the neighborhood as a distinctive enclave of apartment buildings with a powerful sense of place. Elaborate cornices are generally of pressed metal and sometimes incorporate green Mission-style tile, such as the Renaissance Revival style Grinnell” (Report: New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission 5/12/09).
