120 Bennett Ave, 3-M

As you amble down the street, you’ll notice one beautiful Art Deco building after another in this serene pocket of Hudson Heights. The Bennett Arms, built around 1939, with its smooth stucco facade, stylized, geometric shapes, and striking murals, is among the most distinctive and special. Walk into the grand mirrored and marbled lobby and take one of two elevators to the third floor. Once you step into this new to market corner one bedroom you realize it is so well appointed it’s as if you were the only person living in this building. Rounded archways and an embracing circular flow with lemon drop walls make you feel warm and happy to be home. There is simply so much square footage here that you can let your imagination run wild. Do you want an extended kitchen prep area, a dining room, a library, a lounge area and a living room? You can accomplish all of this here. The windowed kitchen, humble and utilitarian by comparison, is fully loaded with white and brown accents. Some say the mauve tiled bathroom may need a renovation, but we adore it and will leave it all up to you to decide. As you move through to the bedroom, flop down on your king size bed or rest on a chaise dotted by windows on either side with southern and western exposures. Three large and deep closets provide ample storage. Original hardwood floors throughout, charming built-ins, and more wall space than you could ever cover with personal memories are a few of the other elements that make this unit so desirable. Co-op amenities include a sought after back patio with garden furniture for residents, 24 hr laundry facilities, bike room, individual storage, resident superintendent and porter, bulk cable discount, and mail chute with daily pick-up. Cats are welcome; sorry no dogs. There is a 1% flip tax paid by the Seller to keep the reserve fund healthy. Fort Tryon Park (and The Cloisters) is just nearby with its rambling gardens and winding paths overlooking the Hudson River. Bennett Park is moments away in the other direction, a charming park located on the highest point in Manhattan. Transportation is aplenty particularly with the A express train around the corner. The M4/M98 express buses and #1 train are also nearby. There is so much to explore here and I’d love to show you more. Get in touch and let’s meet.
