Built in 1910, The Casa Loma has been thoughtfully transformed into a 16-unit pet-friendly elevator condominium. Known for the "world's greatest super," the building maintains low common charges while offering impressive amenities such as a storage locker and bicycle storage. However, the true gem is the 4,000 sq ft planted and furnished roof deck. This stunning communal space features a community herb garden and boasts panoramic views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline, Columbia University, and the iconic Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Location is everything, and this prime South Harlem spot is unrivaled. Just a short walk from Central Park, Morningside Park, and Columbia University, and with immediate access to the 2/3 and B/C subway lines, your commute to Midtown is a breeze. The vibrant surroundings include Harlem's famous Restaurant Row, offering a diverse selection of eateries like Lido, Harlem Tavern, and LoLo's Seafood Shack, along with numerous shopping opportunities. This home is not just a place to live—it's a lifestyle waiting to be embraced.
