251 Seaman Ave

An Art Deco, six-story prewar co-op built in 1939, this residential block combines period character with updated day-to-day functionality. The façade and entrance lobby recall 1930s craftsmanship; inside, units range from compact one-bedrooms to multi-bedroom duplexes and penthouses that often retain original hardwood floors, moldings, built-ins, and decorative tilework. Apartment layouts commonly include formal foyers or dining areas, walk-in closets, eat-in or galley kitchens (some windowed), and den or office spaces; several listings note recently renovated kitchens and baths alongside units described as renovation opportunities. Shared building amenities include two elevators, laundry, bike storage, building storage lockers, and a live-in superintendent; there is on-site central laundry and occasional private outdoor terraces of more than 60 square feet in select units. The co-op is pet friendly and financially active with periodic capital improvement assessments. Located in Inwood near Isham and Inwood Hill Parks, the building sits within walking distance of the A and 1 subway lines, Metro-North access, bus service, neighborhood markets, and weekend farmers’ markets — offering a mix of leafy park access and city transit convenience for residents seeking prewar character with practical building services.
