689 Fort Washington Avenue #1AA

This over-sized one bedroom apartment is not to be missed. 1AA is quietly tucked in the back and accessed by a quaint and semi-private outdoor walk-way. The apartment has a large and welcoming entryway leading to the multiple rooms, allowing more of the feel of a charming house as opposed to a tight apartment. The spacious living room has lovely built-in bookshelves and plenty of space for two sitting areas and/or a home office. The well-designed and renovated kitchen opens to a spacious dining area that is perfect for entertaining. The large bedroom has a wall of custom closets and plenty of room for a desk area. There are high ceilings, hardwood floors throughout and through-wall air conditioners. 689 Fort Washington Avenue was built in 1928 and converted to a co-op in the 1980s. It is a wonderfully maintained and financially sound co-op with a live-in super, a central laundry room, bicycle storage and on-site parking (there is a waitlist). The building is pet friendly and allows pied-a-terres and co-purchasing. Most importantly, it is located in prime Hudson Heights, one of the most beautiful parts of the city. Fort Tryon Park is nearby with its sweeping views of the Hudson River, walking and running paths, playgrounds and gardens, and The Met Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s museum specializing in European medieval art and architecture. Conveniently located, 689 Fort Washington Avenue is near the A Express, where you can get to midtown in 25 minutes, M98 and M4 buses, wonderful restaurants and grocery shops.
