387 Manhattan Avenue | Morningside Gold Coast, Manhattan On one of the Morningside Gold Coast’s most sought-after blocks, this turnkey, fully restored 1880s four-level brownstone offers a rare balance of historic architecture and modern living. Spanning approximately 2,900 square feet across an 18-foot-wide footprint, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has been thoughtfully… Read More reimagined with a cohesive, well-executed vision. The Design Wide-plank white oak floors run throughout, bringing warmth and continuity to the interiors. A custom oak staircase with a sculptural slatted railing unites the home vertically. Behind the walls, every major system has been upgraded — from multi-zone HVAC and heat pump technology to smart home features — delivering a level of comfort and efficiency rarely found in a townhouse of this era. The Main Level The living and dining areas flow seamlessly into an eat-in chef’s kitchen overlooking the private outdoor space below. Gioia Venatino marble extends across the countertops and backsplash in a clean, continuous surface. The all-electric kitchen features an induction cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry throughout. At the front, a working fireplace anchors the living area, framed by windows overlooking the tree-lined stretch of Manhattan Avenue. The Second Level Two spacious bedrooms share this floor, with custom built-ins, ample storage, and a dressing area with a pass-through closet. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom, with double vanity and tub with shower, is designed to function either as shared or easily converted into a private en-suite. A high-end LG washer and dryer are also conveniently located on this level. The Third Level The primary suite is positioned at the rear for privacy and quiet, overlooking the patio below. A dressing area leads to an en-suite bath with double vanity and walk-in rainfall shower. Across the hall, a fourth room functions equally well as a bedroom or media room, complete with a ceiling-mounted projector and open views over the tree-lined street. The Garden Level With both internal access and a private street entrance, the garden level offers exceptional flexibility. A den or home office, full bathroom, wine storage, and direct access to a bluestone patio make it ideal for guests, work-from-home use, or a separate retreat within the house. The Roof A roughly 600-square-foot roof deck sits beneath a solar panel canopy, providing shade in the summer and meaningful energy efficiency year-round. The system’s 18 panels supply approximately half of the home’s current energy needs. Views extend across historic townhouse facades and toward the Cathedral of St. John the Divine — a distinctly New York backdrop. The Location Set along one of Manhattan Avenue’s most beautiful stretches, between Central Park and Morningside Park, the home is moments from Columbia University, notable dining, multiple transit lines, and a weekend farmer’s market. This is a part of Manhattan that remains quietly exceptional — residential, architectural, and enduringly desirable. Annual property taxes: $13,138 (2025–2026 tax year, reflecting a solar installation abatement). Current taxes without the abatement would be approximately $15,460. Read Less
