Welcome to your rustic retreat! Situated in the northern tip of Manhattan and surrounded by lush green spaces, Unit D50 at 75 Park Terrace East is the ideal getaway from the hubbub of the city — without leaving the island. This two-bedroom, one-bath beauty has unobstructed views that bring in wonderful light throughout the day. Enter the apartment through a gracious foyer that can be used as a dining area of home office. Then step down into the spacious sunken living area that looks out over Park Terrace East. To the right of the entryway, you’ll find a separate, windowed kitchen lovingly updated with granite countertops, stainless steel dishwasher and stove, plenty of cabinets and a bonus pantry.
The corner master bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed and has two windows bringing in plenty of natural light. Two closets complete the space. The second bedroom sits on the other side of a bathroom that includes a reclaimed wood ceiling and bath surround. The current owners (one of whom is a stylist for a major home-keeping icon!) added some wonderful architectural details: from stripping down the door frames and radiator covers to their original metal to installing reclaimed wood planks on the bathroom ceiling. Built-in wood shelving was put in the master bedroom and the foyer has a built-in library.

75 Park Terrace East is part of Park Terrace Gardens, Inc., a cooperative consisting of five eight midrise buildings on 2.67 acres. The cooperative is 100% owner occupied and was constructed in 1940 of masonry with steel and concrete beams and concrete floors. Each building has roof deck terraces and a common garden. Located in upper Manhattan, the complex is bounded by West 215th Street and West 217th Street one block West of Broadway. The complex consists of five, eight story buildings with a total of 397 units and offers a variety of floor plans from studio apartments to three bedroom penthouse units with large roof top terraces.
Inwood is physically bounded by the Harlem River to the north and east, and the Hudson River to the west. It extends southward to Fort Tryon Park and alternatively Dyckman Street or Fairview Avenue farther south, depending on the source. Because of its water boundary on three sides, its hilly geography, and its limited local street connections (only Broadway and Fort George Hill connect to the rest of the Manhattan street grid), the neighborhood gives it a not-quite-the-city-feel while remaining on the island. Inwood Hill Park, on the Hudson River, is the city’s last old-growth forested city park. It is known for its caves that were used by the Lenape before Europeans arrived, and the last salt marsh in Manhattan. The wooded section, consisting mostly of abandoned former summer estates, features the last natural forest standing on Manhattan Island. Tennis courts, three playgrounds, a waterfront promenade and ten miles of hiking trails are also prominent components of the park. Other neighborhood highlights include Fort Tryon Park/Cloisters Museum and The Dyckman Farmhouse.
