Rare opportunity to own a luxury Hudson River facing apartment in sought-after, legendary Castle Village. Two units tastefully combined and imaginatively renovated in 2012 create a warm & welcoming entertainer’s dream – with an open concept kitchen, spacious & light-filled living and dining rooms. The private master suite and adjacent library study provides tranquility and function apart from the hustle of midtown, a direct subway ride away.
Enter the gracious foyer of #18/19 and glimpse into the living & dining areas and their ground-level view of trees, gardens, river and bridge. On the left, the expansive kitchen with timeless terrazzo floors, cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, and excellent countertop space has its own breakfast/ dinner nook that looks onto the George Washington Bridge. The large, sunken living room connects to the dining room with French doors and a wall of windows letting in the afternoon light and beautiful sunsets. Custom built-ins provide space for your art and books. Curl up in the window seat to watch the boats go by. The adjoining dining room can accommodate your formal dinners, casual buffets, or an intimate dinner for two. Crown-molding and a guest subway-tiled bathroom and several large closets round out this
cooking, dining, and living space.
The master suite faces directly west over the Hudson River and has been renovated with his and her custom walk-in closets and luxurious bathroom. Sliding doors connect to the adjacent library/study, with custom built-in bookcases, desks and reading nook, ideal for a professional couple. This space could be converted to an additional bedroom, if needed. (See alternate floor plan 1)
A second bedroom, with ensuite bath, occupies its own private wing, also with direct garden, bridge and river views. An additional third bedroom is located off the foyer with open views of Castle Village gardens. As an added bonus and rare treat in Manhattan, see the pantry and private laundry (Bosch Washer and Dryer), also off the foyer. (See alternate floor plan 2 for a re-dividing of this space to create a larger 3rd/4th bedroom, if needed.) High ceilings & picture rails, and oak hardwood floors.
The Castle Village Co-operative pre-war apartment buildings occupy over seven acres above the Hudson River, with beautifully manicured lawns, community gardens, a roof deck with 360 degree views, a children’s playground and outdoor seating areas to sip a late-afternoon beverage with your neighbors. A community in and of itself, it has concerts and speakers, a gym and an indoor children’s’ playspace, storage spaces and bike rooms, a community room and lending library. The larger Hudson Heights neighborhood includes the Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park, Bennett Park (with outdoor jazz in the warmer months), and delightful dining establishments
