Two-Bedroom Deco Treasure in Hudson Heights!
Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, this two-bedroom residence offers a rare combination of size and elegance near the Hudson River. Designed by Russell M. Boak and Hyman F. Paris, the nine-story building with its grand entrances and spectacular Deco lobby was built in 1936 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1984.
The layout of this unit is truly special, beginning with the expansive front foyer, inlaid herringbone floors, wide crown molding, archways, and beamed ceilings. A huge living and dining room area offers multiple exposures including the building’s signature corner windows and slight rivers views from the living room. The nicely renovated galley kitchen features granite counters, handsome cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances.
The bedrooms are located at opposite ends for enhanced privacy, with the primary offering exceptional size and two closets. The second bedroom could also function as a library or home office. The bathroom is adorable with its vintage honey and white tile. With tons of storage space and a wonderful sense of exploration from one room to the next, this residence is an absolute treasure.
Location is also significant, with the building overlooking the Hudson River and rounding the corners at Cabrini Blvd, W 187th Street, and Chittenden Avenue. The Art Deco lobby features terrazzo floors and a marble fireplace, there’s a part-time doorman, a laundry room, and a shared roof deck with spectacular and unobstructed views of the river and George Washington Bridge.
