736 West 186th Street, 3-E

HELLO GORGEOUS!! Utterly fabulous, incredibly spacious and refreshingly affordable….now THIS is a 2 bedroom to get excited about. This rarely available 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath offers 1100 sf of perfection. Feel the 43 ft expanse from the entry to the living room windows and you know you have just stepped into something special. At the heart of the home is a huge, tastefully renovated kitchen. Grey shaker-style cabinetry with white upper glass-front cabinets provides ample storage and lovely display space. Quartz counters are accented by over-sized white tile backsplash illuminated by under-cabinet and pendant lighting. Appliances include an integrated Bosch dishwasher, Fisher Paykel refrigerator, and a WASHER/DRYER! A charming fireclay farm sink and a breakfast bar for two complete the picture. The home’s layout is so versatile and provides nice flexibility as your needs and lifestyle change. The foyer is perfectly suited to dining or perhaps an additional office area while the sunken living room is incredibly generous, even if you need space for a grand piano! Bottom line, entertaining groups large or small is an absolute pleasure here. Both bedrooms are equally proportioned and could serve as the Primary. Each boasts a marvelous decorative accent wall opposite a beautiful triple curved window. Each also has space enough for a king bed plus large-scale furniture while one enjoys the coveted en suite half bath. Separating the 2 bedrooms is the main bathroom featuring a deep cast-iron soaking tub with classic subway tile surround, a pedestal sink with medicine cabinet and Deco lighting. Throughout are beautifully plastered walls, high ceilings, pretty hardwood floors, 5 Large closets and pretty leafy street views to the north and east. Quietly situated in a well-established Art Deco Co-op (aka 30 Overlook Terrace) with resident Super, laundry, bike and private storage and a lovely private garden with picnic tables, grill, plus outdoor play area for residents to enjoy. Sorry, no dogs at this time, but cats are welcome! Nearby you’ll find stunning Fort Tryon Park, the Cloisters, easy access to tennis courts and bicycling trails along the Hudson River and the Little Red Lighthouse plus the most breathtaking vistas on the island. Enjoy new cafes, restaurants and charming spots to market or pamper yourself with a facial or Pilates class.
