900 West 190th Street, 5-E

Lovely home? Smart investment? Check YES to both with this sunny 1-bedroom in a 24-hour doorman co-op located in Manhattan's (not-so) hidden gem of a neighborhood, Hudson Heights. It's easy to feel right at home -- the entry foyer can be used as a dining area or left open; the large living room provides a sunny eastern exposure. The parquet floors are in great shape, newly refinished; the kitchen is perfect to use as-is, or you can get creative and update it if you prefer. Great storage with a double closet in the hallway. The ample bedroom has east and north-facing windows and a huge closet. Have fun with the mid-century charm of original Mamie Pink bath tiles complemented by an updated sink, cabinet, and light fixture.

Cabrini Terrace is a 24-hour full-service doorman co-op with very low maintenance fees thanks to its solar panels and co-generation system. The windows have UV protection, adding to the building's green commitment. Cabrini Terrace has a live-in super, porters, two bicycle rooms, laundry room, community room, 24-hour attended garage (private vendor), Verizon Fios, renovated lobby and entrance, and modernized elevators. Enjoy the manicured gardens surrounding the building. Cats are permitted, sorry, no dogs.Terrific location, near the A express and 1 local trains, and M4 and M98 buses. On 187th Street you will find great cafes and restaurants, shopping, and amenities. Fort Tryon park, voted "Happiest Spot in Manhattan," with its unparalleled views and the Met Cloisters Museum, is your backyard.
