Park Columbus
April 4th, 2008
Located in the historic Upper West Side of Manhattan, Park Columbus is a ten-story family development, housed in a 119-unit red brick building. Its official address is 101 W. 87th Street, which puts it square in the middle of all that New York has to offer. In one direction lie Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. A few blocks away in the other direction, Riverside Park beckons. Of course, there are plenty of restaurants and specialty markets to make any food connoisseur happy. And for the little ones of the family, there’s a children’s playroom with outdoor space.
The designers of Park Columbus put a lot of thought into maintaining a calming effect in the homes when they came up with some of the designs. The kitchens emphasize smooth surfaces and muted colors; yet, these things don’t take away from the room’s efficiency. Recessed lighting soothes frazzled nerves and creates a sense of peace, whether the house is buzzing with activity or not. Luxury-name appliances like Miele, Viking, and Sub-Zero add the elegance that kitchens usually lack. Full-height pantries contribute space. Larger units also have a washer and dryer, for convenience.
The Master Bath follows the lead of the other rooms in the home. Smooth limestone walls and floors and subtle lighting make bath time almost sublime, especially with the Kohler Tea for Two Bathtub. For those who don’t want to share, the spouse can be sent to the separate shower across the way for a relaxing rain “massage.”
Park Columbus has plenty for residents to do when they just have to get out of the house. The focal point is a woodland garden with flowering shrubs, ferns and a veritable forest of birch trees. Residents may relax among the trees, or pass through them to get to the gym and lounge area with kitchenette. On warm, weekend evenings, the roof deck invites residents to sit and enjoy the unique New York breeze.
Park Columbus has a number of units still available, from studios to four-bedroom apartments. They range in size from the small and cozy 563 square-footer to the quite respectable 1,894 square-foot unit. Prices start at $643,000 and surpass $2.7 million. Occupancy is slated for Fall 2008.
