Building: 611 West 111th Street

The Markenfield, located in prime Morningside Heights, was built in approximately 1900 and consists of two buildings totaling 50 units. Many of the apartments in the building retain their original early-20th century character: sliding parlor doors, built-in shelves and original wood floors. Most of the apartments are original Eduardian-Five’s, five room apartments that were originally intended for a bachelor and his live-in maid. Due to the flexibility of these floorplans, many shareholders have converted their apartments to 2-bedroom or even three-bedroom homes. The Markenfield features a laundry room, storage lockers (at an additional yearly charge) and is pet-friendly.
