4555 Henry Hudson Pkwy

Briar Oaks is a 14-story cooperative built in 1953, configured primarily with two-bedroom layouts and larger convertible units. Its midcentury masonry massing is set within a landscaped campus that includes courtyards, a private playground and mature trees, creating a park-like feel around the entrance. Apartments commonly feature original oak or parquet floors alongside renovated kitchens and baths; interior fittings listed across units include granite or marble counters, kitchen islands, breakfast bars, walk-in closets, recessed lighting and windowed primary bathrooms. The building operates as a full-service co-op with a staffed 24-hour doorman, elevator access, live-in superintendent, laundry and storage rooms, bicycle storage, and indoor/outdoor garage parking with optional owned parking spaces. Shared recreational facilities are extensive for the scale: a fitness center, indoor playroom, private children’s playground, basketball court, and a dog run; one dog per apartment is permitted. Many residences offer terraces or balconies and protected Hudson River and Palisades views from higher floors. Located in Central Riverdale near Riverdale and Johnson Avenues, the property sits within walking distance of shops, restaurants and multiple bus routes offering local and Manhattan express service, with shuttle access to Metro-North. Maintenance covers utilities, and the building has seen targeted modernizations such as lobby and elevator updates and a recently replaced roof.
