Peace, quiet and comfort define this bright and cheerful two-bedroom apartment home with low maintenance on the top floor in one of the best lines of this co-op community. Overlooking the trees and cultivated gardens of the Bennett Avenue courtyard, and the dramatic sylvan rock face of Fort Tryon Park, the space enjoys four-season enchantment that enhances your quality of life. Don't be surprised to see a red-tailed hawk perched on the parapet. The apartment is in superb condition. The airy open concept grounded on hardwood floors makes for easy entertaining, and the flexible space of the dining alcove has enough room to accommodate an office area, if so desired. The efficient windowed kitchen features granite countertops, cherrywood cabinets and higher end, recently installed stainless steel appliances. The renovated bathroom is spotless, with elegant details. There is ample storage in the four closets. The bedrooms are serene. Fort Tryon Gardens is a well-managed and financially sound 7-building, 350-unit co-op perfectly situated next to the beautiful Fort Tryon Park, one of New York City's most dramatic, with breathtaking Hudson River views, the exquisite Heather Garden and the world-famous Cloisters Museum. Being next to the park is like having a billionaire's backyard. Ample nearby commerce, including supermarkets and a diverse selection of restaurants, characterize the area. The co-op has made significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a brand-new roof, video intercom system, and upgrades that have given the co-op an A-rating for energy efficiency. The complex has a friendly and diligent staff, with resident Superintendent. Pets are welcome, including your canine friends. The building is situated near the 1-train and, best of all, the A-train express line is right across the street. All viewings are by appointment only. The co-op allows co-purchasing and pied a terre.

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.
