Property Description for 295 Bennett Ave, 6-G

This building qualifies for a special 3.2% interest rate on 30 year fixed rate mortgage with First Republic. Ask for more information! As you amble through Fort Tryon Park, passing through The Heather Gardens, admiring The Cloisters, and turning K9 heads at Sir Williams’ Dog Park, you’ll emerge onto Bennett Avenue at Fort Tryon Gardens, a well maintained co-op complex which boasts an enviable location on serene Bennett Avenue in Hudson Heights. Enter through the landscaped path off the bend in Bennett Avenue to the lobby and take the elevator to the sixth floor. Once you emerge into this new to market corner one bedroom, you feel as if you’ve climbed into your own treehouse at the edge of the park. As you drop your bag and shoes in the foyer, too worn out from a lively New York day to deposit your dunnage in the entry closet, you peer over the kitchen counter, through the living room, and out of the oversized windows at the blossoming trees of Fort Tryon Park, practically your front yard. You can cozy up on the couch, order takeout, and get engrossed in a good book, or daydream as you watch the clouds pass by above the treeline (as current feline resident Ginger enjoys so much). You could also muster up the momentum to make dinner. The utilitarian and handsome kitchen is well appointed with stainless steel appliances, including a microwave and dishwasher, so if only leftovers are in the cards, you’re all set, and post-dinner cleanup is as simple as can be. The kitchen’s open counter corner allows you to catch up with guests as you prepare pre-dinner bites to be served in what you’ve made into a friendly dining area. You could also set up a sizable home-office or library in the living room - the possibilities are endless. Once you wrap your day and move through the closeted hallway, past the windowed bathroom, into the bedroom, you can flop down on your bed or take a seat on a chaise dotted by windows on either wall with northern and western exposures. This corner vantage looking out over Bennett Avenue and Fort Tryon Park is the ideal quiet perch to take a deep breath and unwind. Co-op amenities include resident laundry facilities, storage, bike room, live-in superintendent and friendly building staff, and Verizon Fios. Pets are welcome with board approval, and subletting is allowed with board approval after one year of residency. 10% down / 90% financing is permitted as well. The building has recently installed a new video intercom system and contracted for upgrades to the roof. The assessments associated with these capital improvements have already been paid off by the current owner. Fort Tryon Park (and The Cloisters) is across the street with its rambling gardens and winding paths overlooking the Hudson River. Bennett Park is a few 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 across the street, and the 1 train just two blocks away. The M98 express, M4, and M100 buses are also nearby. There is so much to explore here and we would love to show you more. Get in touch and let’s meet.

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.
