Overlooking Morningside Park, this expansive three-bedroom, two-bath residence seamlessly blends timeless prewar elegance with thoughtful modern design. Elevated above street level and set back from the side street, the home enjoys southern and eastern park views while offering an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility.
The home's expansive, loft-like living and dining room serves as its centerpiece, featuring soaring ceilings, seven oversized windows, custom built-ins, integrated designer lighting, and rich red oak hardwood floors. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, the space is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The windowed chef's kitchen opens effortlessly to the dining area and is beautifully appointed with Caesarstone quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, premium stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry and workspace, creating a functional yet sophisticated gathering space.
A thoughtfully designed bedroom wing provides separation between entertaining and private living quarters. The spacious primary suite features custom built-in closets, integrated storage, and an elegant en-suite bath with a glass-enclosed rain shower. The second bedroom has been customized with built-in millwork, offering a flexible bedroom and office or playroom configuration, while the generously sized third bedroom easily accommodates a queen bed, two twin beds, or bunk beds. A laundry room is conveniently located just half a flight downstairs.
Built in 1904, La Touraine is one of Manhattan's earliest cooperative residences.

Directly across the street, Morningside Park becomes an extension of your home, with playgrounds, athletic fields, basketball courts, a dog run, and acres of beautifully landscaped green space just outside your door.
