720 Ft Washington Ave. #2E

Exquisitely quiet, impeccably-renovated two-bedroom, one-bath apartment in the one of the most sought-after pre-war art deco coops in Hudson Heights. The original floorplan of this 1100 SQFT home has been preserved-along with its beautiful sunken living room-while every surface and element of this warm and wonderful home has been upgraded to the highest standard.

The original oak parquet floors have been refinished to their 1939 glory; plaster walls and ceilings skim coated; the baseboards, crown molding, and picture rails replaced, and new doors installed throughout the apartment. Electricity was upgraded to support modern appliances, and each of the abundant closets were customized by California Closets.

The large modern chef’s kitchen features elegant custom, solid wood Wenge-finished cabinetry with frosted glass uppers. Vast Caesarstone countertops provide ample space for food preparation and a useful office/computer space, which doubles as a great buffet area when entertaining. Under-cabinet lighting, water filtration system, and countless hidden electrical outlets provide a dream space for the culinary inclined. Best-in-class appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer, a DCS by Fisher & Paykel five-burner gas stove/convection oven and double-drawer dishwasher.

The bathroom was taken back to studs and rebuilt with top of the line touches, including a Duravit sink, an extra-deep Bain Ultra soaking tub, rain shower showerhead, and brushed nickel Grohe fixtures. 24×24 inch glass tile frames the tub and shower wall to create an oasis of tranquility.

The pin-drop quiet oversized master bedroom has four windows overlooking the building’s serene southern courtyard and features a custom-built wall of closet space to augment the two large, deep original closets. The second, smaller bedroom offers a large window on to the same quiet courtyard, along with two closets of its own.

The beautiful layout of the 720/E line allows for a relaxed flow through the main living spaces, while preserving quiet privacy for the bedrooms and bath. 720/730 also offers a private gym, bike rooms, along with multiple storage (extra fee) and laundry rooms. The Javits playground directly across the street is nearing completion of a multi-million-dollar makeover.

720/730 is pet friendly, so that your four-legged friend can join you on picturesque morning runs in Ft. Tryon park, which hosts Manhattan’s largest dog run. The park is one of the city’s most beautiful, lies across from the building’s front door, and overlooks the majestic Hudson river facing New Jersey’s Palisades, making weekends upstate a traffic-free endeavor!
