A rare opportunity to live in The Monterey, a coveted building in Harlem. An architectural beauty with a rich history visited by many Jazz greats and the like. Full of charm itself, this one bedroom apartment has soaring 11 foot ceilings and the curved architecture of the facade framing the windows can be seen as you look out. The apartment has been impeccably designed with a large fully renovated kitchen including granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, counter space on both sides and a big window! The bathroom has just undergone a renovation. Complete with Large walk-in closets and a full sized LG washer/dry combo unit in the large entrance closet. Facing East the apartment gets wonderful morning light. Built in 1891, The Monterey is a 6 floor elevator building, across the street from Morningside Park and facing Lafayette Square which includes a statue of Lafayette and George Washington, a replica of an original piece located in Paris by Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty. In July 2009 The NY Times Streetscape column called The Monterey "A Charmer Ahead of it's Time". Located in prime South Harlem, 5 blocks from Central Park and 1 block from Frederick Douglass Blvd. lined with restaurants and shops. 3 blocks to the B/C trains and lots of buses going in every direction!! Board approval required and unfortunately no pets allowed. May 1 move-in date. Please contact me to see this wonderful apartment!
