Why You’ll Love It…
Upon entering this 700-square-foot apartment, you’ll find a spacious closet on either side of the front door. You’ll be greeted by the unit’s art deco charm, from its herringbone hardwood floors to the beamed ceilings. The foyer could easily double as a dining space or a spot for a home office. One step down from the foyer is the sunken living room, which has ample space for seating furniture as well as a wall of large windows that fill the space with natural light.
The kitchen is connected to the foyer via an arched doorway and open to the living room for a seamless feel. In addition to a suite of full-size appliances — including a dishwasher! — the kitchen features lots of cabinet space and open shelving for all your storage needs. An island provides counter space for prepping and cooking food and doubles as a breakfast bar.
The windowed bathroom is decked out in yellow tile and features a big soaking tub with a unique corner shape. Next door to the bathroom, the bedroom has two exposures on two different walls thanks to its unique angled shape. The best part of the room, however, is its pair of large closets!
Located in a pet-friendly elevator building, this home benefits from amenities such as a part-time doorman, live-in super, and laundry room. The surrounding blocks are full of green space thanks to Fort Tyron Park, Fort Washington Park, Bennett Park, and Amelia Gorman Park. The block the building is situated on is also host to a bakery, juicery, Mexican restaurant, coffee shop, and deli. Commuters will find transit a breeze with both the A and 1 trains within a quarter mile.
…And Why You Might Not
The bathroom has a pedestal sink, which isn’t ideal for those who like counter space to host their toiletries. There’s currently an assessment of $118.91/month until December 2027, after which there will be an assessment of $256.84/month through June 2028. But if you’re in the market for a 1-bedroom with tons of character, storage, and natural light, this one should be right up your alley!
