Description

This fully furnished large 5-bedroom unit in historic Marble Hill provides a combination of a quiet neighborhood feel and urban hustle and bustle. As you approach the free-standing house, you hear birds and see sky, yet you are only 3 blocks from Broadway and all that city life has to offer. Public transit is a 6-minute walk and commuting to many campuses, museums, and hospitals via the 1 train, commuter rail, express buses, and bike trail offers flexibility and all within 20-60 minutes. The unit has 17 windows facing all directions providing cross breeze and lots of sun, and there are plenty of places to relax, read, and work including a large living room. There is a breakfast nook connected to the kitchen while the expandable dining table in the living room offers another dining option. The unit has old world charm yet upgraded to be sustainable with insulation, energy efficient windows and HVAC in addition to radiator heat and solar panels. You will be sharing this unit with me, however, I will be on the premises only 1-3 days per month as I also have a downtown apartment as a Faculty in Residence. You have access to all shared spaces, and will also have three private rooms : one furnished bedroom, one furnished office, and one flex room on the second floor, which currently has a desk and dresser. You have your choice of private bedroom on the first floor near the living areas or on the second floor. The diverse neighborhood has everything to offer in terms of amenities. SuperTarget, Aldis, Starbucks, Planet Fitness/Crunch and many grocery stores 5-10 min walk away. Hospital 15 min walk. Farmers Market 20 min on Saturday in Inwood Park. CityBike station located 2 blocks away. You can walk north up Riverdale Avenue for restaurants and cultural centers, Broadway for Latin American fare, or south to frequent the restaurants and cafes in Inwood. Happy to provide a video walk through and address any questions.
