259 Bennett Ave

An eight-story cooperative built in 1951, this midrise at 259 Bennett Avenue comprises 21 primarily one-bedroom residences arranged around landscaped common spaces. The architecture is modest postwar masonry with regular window bays and an entrance that opens onto a planted courtyard and garden; exterior grounds are maintained and designed for passive enjoyment rather than active recreation. Interiors typically feature hardwood floors, high ceilings in many units, and compact kitchen layouts including galley and eat-in configurations; several sponsor-renovated apartments show modern finishes, granite counters, and stainless appliances. Shared building amenities are practical and community-focused: a central laundry room, bike and storage rooms, live-in superintendent and porter coverage, and controlled access with security cameras. Parking is available through a garage arrangement for a fee. The cooperative’s pet-friendly and broadly permissive sublet policies are notable for buyers seeking flexibility. Located in Hudson Heights directly across from Fort Tryon Park and steps from the A and 1 subway lines, the property benefits from immediate access to parkland, cultural institutions like The Cloisters, neighborhood shops and cafes, and relatively quick Midtown commutes.
