Lafayette Gardens at 340 Haven Ave. #6M

You can practically touch the sky from this bright, tranquil Lafayette Gardens top-floor retreat (with a partial GW bridge view), overlooking two gorgeously landscaped courtyards. Its open plan features a large living area with windowed galley kitchen, a bright white bathroom with recessed LED lighting, a spacious and airy bedroom, and four fully lit closets, including the large walk-in pantry (possible conversion to home office or laundry). A thoughtful gut renovation throughout includes all new doors, moldings, hardware, customized cabinetry, and plentiful electrical circuits. Lafayette Gardens is a 192-unit postwar cooperative. In addition to a glistening new lobby with a world-class art installation, the building offers part-time doorman, storage rooms, a bike room, and in-building parking (fees apply). There’s also free courtyard wifi and Building Link, an online communications system that automates package deliveries, maintenance requests, and much more. The $783 maintenance includes utilities. Conveniently located on 181st Street and Haven Avenue, just seconds away from the A train subway station. In close proximity is the George Washington Bridge terminal, which is currently undergoing a major renovation bringing more neighborhood retail including Gap, Marshalls, new grocery stores, Buffalo Wild Wings, and other welcome additions. This inviting Manhattan neighborhood has vibrant new restaurants and coffee shops, local grocery stores, boutique wine stores, and specialty shops. Enjoy the outdoor life of nearby Ft. Washington Park’s new soccer and baseball fields, play areas, jogging trails, tennis courts and a bike path that runs traffic free to Battery Park. Come make this upper Manhattan neighborhood your new home.
