Magnificent Panoramic Views!
It will not be difficult to adjust your everyday view to the 24/7 “observation deck” vistas from this bright, stunning corner apartment! This unusually quiet, gracefully proportioned 2BD/1.5Bath residence is a showcase of modern design and sophisticated taste for gracious entertaining and luxurious living.
Originally a 3 bedroom, 1300 SQFT residence, this impeccably-renovated extra-large apartment is in one of the most sought-after pre-war art deco coops in Hudson Heights. While the 3rd bedroom and kitchen have been combined into one grand space, the original details of this home have been preserved: such as, a beautiful sunken living room, original oak parquet floors, painted plaster walls and ceilings, baseboards, crown molding, picture rails, and upgraded electricity to support modern kitchen appliances.
The third bedroom and kitchen were combined into a one-of-a-kind, multi-use space. This large modern chef’s kitchen features elegant custom, solid wood cabinetry with glass windows. Vast, luxurious black granite countertops provide ample space for food preparation, while the useful office/computer spaces…with plenty of bookshelves above and file cabinets below…can also double as a great buffet area when entertaining. Under-cabinet electrical outlets provide a dream space for the culinary inclined. Best-in-class appliances include a “Costco-friendly” massive stainless steel Samsung French Door refrigerator-freezer, a Samsung five-burner gas stove/convection oven, GE microwave/convection, and a large Bosch stainless-steel dishwasher. Additionally, the center island is perfect for prep, eat-in, and entertaining. Best of all, you will get to enjoy the natural light and view in any weather, all season long, while you eat, cook, and work.
A large entrance foyer is a bonus, separated from the apartment entrance door, and is unique to this corner property “X” line. This well-proportioned foyer offers the feeling of a stand-alone room, instead of a single-use entrance foyer. Envision this space as your meet & greet cocktail lounge, formal dining area, reading room, music studio, or small informal lounge with a bistro table. The possibilities are endless!
The pin-drop quiet oversized master bedroom has four windows with an unobstructed open view and an ensuite half-bath. This room could be easily divided into two comfortable bedrooms for additional private space. The large second bedroom is currently functioning as the primary bedroom and can hold a queen-size bed, plus night tables and a club chair.
720-730 Fort Washington Ave Co-op is in one of the most sought-after Art Deco buildings in Hudson Heights. This immaculate pet-friendly Co-op offers Gym ($240/yr), live-in super, porters, a live-in handyman, evening security guards, storage facilities, two laundry rooms, two bike rooms, bellman’s luggage carts for residents’ use, private courtyard gardens, and ramp accessibility from the main street.
Situated a few steps from the building entrance is the majestic Fort Tryon Park with famous vistas of the George Washington Bridge and the Hudson River. Near the park entrance, one can find Manhattan’s largest dog run, numerous seasonal gardens, wooded promenades, terraces, eight miles of pedestrian paths, and the world-famous Cloisters Museum (part of the Met Museum). This outstanding property is near playgrounds, parks, restaurants, shops, public schools, and parking garages. The A train is steps away to take you to Midtown in 20 minutes. There is a current monthly fuel surcharge of $123.23 ending Aug 2023. Showing by appointment only, flexible showing hours.
