This renovated 2BD is great. The living space is perfect for entertaining guests. The kitchen has lots of counter space, stainless steel appliances and custom wood finished cabinets. The bedrooms can comfortably fit a queen size bed, dresser and more. The storage space is a great advantage to this apartment and will become more of an asset down the road. The bathroom has had renovations with new fixtures, and vanity while having marble tiling throughout. Steps away from lots of great places such as Chinelos 2 Corporation, New Home Sing Restaurant, Bus Stop Restaurant and more just around the corner, must see in person to appreciate! Hamilton Heights is something of a mystery to most New Yorkers, but don’t let the obscurity fool you; the neighborhood is rich in history and beautiful architecture. The quiet spot is principally known for City College on 137th Street, which is notable for its remarkable gothic architecture and academic excellence. This charming neighborhood has many angled streets that disrupt the grid and smaller buildings that give many sections an open, spacious feel not found in many other Manhattan neighborhoods. Hamilton Heights is a haven for students, actors, and professionals looking for affordable, spacious apartments.
