55 Park Terrace East #B27

CLASSIC DECO CHARM WITH GARDEN VIEWS! If peace and quiet are high on your list of essential home features, you have just found your new home: a spacious 2BR/1ba with views over private gardens from every window. With soft light streaming in from different directions throughout the day, this is the perfect escape from the chaos of the big apple.

The front door opens into an expansive foyer ideal for a formal dining area, or even home office. Two steps lead down to the gracious living room with a huge picture window. On the other end, you will find the eat-in-kitchen with white cabinetry in perfect working condition, but an open canvas to someone with a vision of their own. The bedrooms, each furnished with a closet, are conveniently separated from the living area with the original yellow-and-black -tiled bathroom in between. The original herringbone/parquet floors in beautiful condition extend through the apartment, and the smooth walls and ceilings give this zen home great bones with exposed beams, built-in, and curved walls adding to the charm.

Part of the coveted Park Terrace Gardens co-operative with common rooftop terraces (think bbq!), concierge, and lush gardens this is truly a little slice of heaven on earth. Don’t take my word for it—come and see for yourself!

This developing area has great outdoor opportunities, providing easy access to tennis, basketball, and handball courts, baseball and soccer fields, hiking/biking trails, and kayaking. It boasts the best dog run of the city (according to many) and is the nature-loving city-dweller’s fantasy fulfilled. The local services include a year-round farmer’s market, cafes and restaurants, banks, florists, hardware stores, target, etc. Inwood is serviced by A express and 1 local subway lines and the east-side express bus to lower manhattan, and is easily accessible by most major highways.
