Description
A CLASSIC SEVEN WITH SOUL
At 622 West 114th Street, classic prewar architecture meets the ease of modern city living. This expansive four-bedroom, three-bathroom classic seven offers an elegant sense of scale, a gracious layout, and beautifully preserved original details throughout.
A formal entry leads into a series of generously proportioned rooms, each filled with warmth and character. Soaring 9.5-foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, period brass hardware, glass transoms, carved woodwork, and original mosaic tilework create an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply welcoming.
South-facing windows bring beautiful natural light into the home, while French doors connect the living and dining rooms, allowing the spaces to feel open yet distinct. Restored millwork, crown moldings, and chair-rail details add architectural depth and a timeless sense of craftsmanship.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to honor the home's prewar character while offering modern functionality, with custom maple cabinetry, generous storage, and excellent workspace for cooking and entertaining.
The private quarters are equally inviting. The primary bedroom features two closets, including a walk-in, and an en-suite marble bath with Duravit fixtures and intricate mosaic floor tile. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, a home office, or a library, including one bedroom with built-in bookshelves.
Additional conveniences include custom closets throughout and an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer.
Set between Broadway and Riverside Drive, this intimate 39-unit cooperative offers a live-in superintendent and a prime Morningside Heights location. Columbia University, Riverside Park, Morningside Park, and Central Park are all nearby, along with neighborhood cafés, restaurants, gourmet markets, boutiques, and cultural destinations.
With its rich architectural detail, gracious proportions, and notable history, including former residents Cecil B. DeMille and Barack Obama, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special prewar home in one of Manhattan's most storied neighborhoods.
