Welcome Home! Sprawling and sun-filled, this 3-bedroom (convertible to 4), 2-bathroom home is in move-in condition and located in the coveted Audubon Park Historic District of Washington Heights! The residence enjoys triple exposures, south-facing open city views, and grandly soaring 12-foot ceilings! Beautiful sunlight streams in through the home's oversize windows, all of which were recently replaced. In addition to its three generous bedrooms, the home boasts an elegant formal dining room separated from the living room by beautiful French doors as well as a breakfast room off the kitchen, either of which could easily be used as an additional 4th bedroom.

A gorgeous fireplace that harkens to the building's prewar past anchors the spacious and inviting living room. The large, updated, and windowed kitchen flaunts terrific cabinet space and a W/D! Both of the home's attractive, updated bathrooms are windowed as well, and the home is further enhanced by tremendous closet space! The icing on the cake is the exceptionally low monthly maintenance of only $788!

Constructed in the early 1900's, 611 West 156th Street is an exquisite prewar elevator building with gorgeous masonry and a striking marble lobby. Building residents enjoy a live-in superintendent and a large, modernized laundry room (in-unit washer/dryers are also permitted). This is an HDFC cooperative, so income restrictions apply. For households with 2 dependents or fewer, household income cannot exceed $62,151. For households with 3 dependents or more, household income cannot exceed $72,507.

Transportation is a breeze with the 1 train right on the corner, the C train just three blocks away, and the Bx6, Bx6-SBS, M4, and M5 buses all within a block. Stroll two blocks west to reach the Hudson River Greenway (perfect for jogging, strolling, or cycling along the river) and Riverside Park, which stretches four miles from 72nd to 158th streets and offers a wide range of facilities including baseball fields, basketball courts, fitness equipment, and handball courts. You are also close to Riverbank State Park, a 28-acre park with extensive facilities including an indoor Olympic-size pool, a covered skating rink for roller skating in the summer and ice-skating in the winter, an 800-seat cultural theater, a 2,500-seat athletic complex with fitness room, a 150-seat restaurant (Sofrito On The Hudson), two additional pools (a 25-yard lap pool and a wading pool), four tennis courts, four basketball courts, a softball field, four hand/paddleball courts, a 400-meter eight-lane running track surrounding a football/soccer field, two playgrounds, a number of picnic areas, and a walking path featuring spectacular views of the Hudson River, the Palisades, and the George Washington Bridge. Sandwiched between Columbia University's Manhattanville campus to the south and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center to the north, this flourishing neighborhood has seen a proliferation of new shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment options, providing residents with the height of convenience.

Washington Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Washington Heights, a hilly neighborhood on Manhattan’s northern tip known for its affordable apartments, preserved pre-war buildings, and Dominican food. Some would argue that it's a hidden gem and one of Manhattan's last neighborhoods that has retained its culture. The large swath of land is bordered by Inwood to the north along Dyckman Street, by Harlem to the South along 155th Street, by the Harlem River to the east, and the Hudson River to the West. It is the highest natural point on the Island of Manhattan. 

Despite its high residential density, Washington Heights and Inwood have not seen modern housing construction in more than a decade other than relatively small housing units. Midtown Manhattan, Battery Park, TriBeCa, Chelsea, and Hell’s Kitchen, on the other hand, have seen an increase in building. Most of the high rise construction belongs to hospitals such as New York Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center, and educational institutions like Yeshiva University and Boricua College. 

Washington Heights has access to amazing green spaces like The Cloisters, Fort Washington Park, Highbridge Park and Fort Tryon Park. There is no shortage of historical landmarks either. Remember General George Washington set up his camp in Washington Heights during the Revolutionary War. He used the elevated neighborhood to his tactical advantage to spot the Redcoats. As history would have it, his plan didn’t work out so well and the British occupied New York for seven years.
