Payson House

Payson House is a six-story, 1935-built Art Deco cooperative of 23 residences located on Payson Avenue in Inwood, northern Manhattan. The building’s masonry façade and restored, period lobby announce its prewar character; interiors commonly feature high ceilings, original details such as crown moldings and herringbone floors, and gracious layouts with formal dining areas and sunken living rooms. Most units are one-bedroom homes (representative listings also show two-bedroom conversions), many with windowed kitchens, soaking tubs, and abundant closet storage. Shared services and conveniences include a resident superintendent, two elevators, laundry room, package room, private storage, and a planted courtyard garden. There is on-site parking available subject to a waitlist. The property sits directly opposite Inwood Hill Park and is a short walk to Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters, with the A express subway and neighborhood restaurants, markets, and waterfront dining nearby. Overall, Payson House blends preserved Art Deco details, practical co-op amenities, and immediate access to large green spaces that shape daily life for occupants.
