96 Arden St. #2A

Welcome home to one of Fort George’s best kept secrets. This sun-drenched one-bedroom residence in a classic 1925 Art Deco co-op delivers the kind of space, character, and detail that buyers spend years searching for – and rarely find at this price point in Manhattan.

From the moment you enter, original parquet floors, crown molding, and graceful archways announce that this is something different. The expansive living room is among the largest you’ll find in a one-bedroom in the neighborhood – generous enough to configure as a true living and working space, or to convert into a two-bedroom layout if your life calls for it. A separate dining area with a custom brass pendant fixture flows seamlessly between the living space and kitchen, creating a natural rhythm that makes the apartment live far larger than its footprint suggests.

The bedroom is a true retreat – dual windows, rich hardwood floors, and enough square footage to accommodate a king bed, a workspace, and still breathe. Quiet and private, it’s the kind of bedroom Manhattan buyers compromise on everywhere else. And unlike most one-bedrooms in the city, storage is never a concern here. Generous closets throughout give you the kind of breathing room that Manhattan living rarely affords – a genuine luxury at any price point.

And then there’s the bathroom. Fully gut-renovated and designed with intention – sage green subway tile floor to ceiling, hand-cut marble mosaic border, brass fixtures throughout, glass-enclosed rainfall shower, walnut vanity, and arched brass mirror. This is not a bathroom you expect to find here. It is the bathroom you’d pay a premium for anywhere.

Step outside and Fort Tryon Park is half a block away – 67 acres of Hudson River views, the Met Cloisters, the Heather Garden, and 8 miles of walking trails. For dog owners, Fort Tryon is home to Manhattan’s largest dog run, complete with a gazebo and open green space. This is not just a park – it is a lifestyle that most Manhattan neighborhoods simply cannot offer. The A and 1 trains are both just minutes away, putting Midtown just 28 minutes from your door. And for those who travel beyond the city, the George Washington Bridge is minutes away – easy access to New Jersey, Westchester, and beyond. This is the neighborhood buyers discover and never leave.

Pet-friendly building with live-in super, laundry, bike storage, and a private garden.
