689 Fort Washington Ave

A six-story co-op completed in 1926, this 29-unit building occupies a full block corner in Hudson Heights. The property is primarily configured as one-bedroom homes, many with high ceilings and traditional prewar proportions: separate formal dining areas, eat-in kitchens or windowed kitchens, defined living rooms, and hardwood floors. Several units showcase private outdoor space — from private terraces to a large shared roof deck — and multiple apartments offer Hudson River and Palisades views. Common areas include a planted courtyard and building garden that buffer the street, a central laundry room off the lobby, bicycle storage with a waitlist, and on-site building staff including a live-in superintendent. Recent capital improvements include full window replacement in the mid-2010s; the co-op reports sound financials. The building’s policies are flexible for a prewar co-op: pets are permitted, pied-a-terres are considered case by case, parents may co-purchase with full board submission, and in-unit washers/dryers are allowed. Street-level access to the A train (190th St.), express buses, neighborhood shops, and Fort Tryon Park places the building within a culturally rich, walkable north-Manhattan enclave.
