The moment you step inside, you are home. Available as a long-term, furnished rental, Apartment F14 is an exceptionally rare gem that combines quality finishes with a luxurious amount of space and serenity in the heart of Hudson Heights.
No detail was overlooked in this duplex 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. Enter into a gracious foyer that welcomes you inside and serves as a proper landing area to shed coats and bags from the day. Once inside, a tranquil tree-filled view pulls you into the oversized living room, which is separated from the formal dining room by an elegant pair of french doors. Four windows anchor the dining room, and beckon eastern sunshine to illuminate the first floor living spaces.
The kitchen is accessible through the dining room or off the entry foyer, and it is a showpiece. Features include an incredible amount of countertop space, high end appliances, ample cabinetry that artfully blends a modern renovation with original pre-war detail. A built-in window seat provides the perfect perch to take in the quiet beauty of Pinehurst Avenue or observe the action at Bennet Park, located just across the street.
All 3 bedrooms are distinctly separate from the living areas, providing a level of privacy that is highly desirable. Toward the back of the main level are two generously sized secondary bedrooms; one with a queen bed and western views, and one with a full sized bed and windows facing east. These two bedrooms share a renovated bathroom with double sinks and a soaking tub.
Descend a stunning sculptural staircase to the lower-level primary suite, which was created out of an entire studio apartment. An original arched doorway opens directly onto the coop's striking inner gardens. This oasis functions as a semi-private alternate entrance into the primary bedroom, and provides a spectacular view for its occupants. The suite has its own bathroom with double vanity and large walk-in shower, a king sized bed and a sizable windowed office alcove that accommodates two people.
This is a home for someone with exacting standards; who will appreciate details like wooden trim and doors, stripped of nearly a century of paint to reveal the original aromatic wood hiding beneath. Built-in cabinetry displays, Herman Miller pendants light the rooms; and historic wrought iron windows frame the surrounding landscape. The coop was built in an era when using quality materials was the expectation, and the apartment owners honored the architectural history of the home when bringing F14 up to 21st Century living standards.
