Built in the 1920s, this six-story prewar cooperative occupies a Hudson Heights corner lot overlooking the Hudson River corridor. The building contains a modest collection of roughly 42 units arranged around a central corridor served by an elevator and retains many original period details: a restored marble lobby with stained glass, high ceilings, and preserved moldings. Apartments are predominantly two-bedroom layouts, many reconfigured or combined over time to create larger three-bedroom homes and flexible convertibles; units typically feature hardwood floors, oversized windows on multiple exposures, eat-in or galley kitchens, and entrance foyers. Several residences have been gut-renovated with modern kitchens, spa-like baths, in-unit washer/dryers, and upgraded mechanicals while others retain classic prewar finishes. Common services and amenities include a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry room, rentable storage cages, a new intercom/virtual doorman system, and recently replaced elevator service; plans for courtyard improvements are underway. The building’s pet-friendly policy, conservative cooperative governance with some sponsor sales offering no-board-approval terms, and occasional sponsor concessions make it accessible to a range of buyers. Located steps from Fort Tryon Park, the Hudson River Greenway, and transit (A and 1 trains plus nearby bus hubs), the property sits within a neighborhood of parks, cafes, and riverfront trails that emphasize outdoor recreation and a quieter uptown lifestyle.
