Property Description for 259 Bennett Ave, 1-A

Only 10% Down, Pet Friendly, & Eligible for a $20,000 Homebuyer’s Grant! Welcome to this immaculate two-bedroom co-op in Hudson Heights, offering one of the most sizable two-bedroom layouts in the complex. At an estimated 1,100 sq ft, this renovated ground-floor unit at Fort Tryon Gardens is set well back from the road, nestled within the landscaped grounds. It features a sunny layout with gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, crown molding, and an absolutely beautiful kitchen. The location is a commuter’s dream—just steps from the A and 1 trains, multiple bus lines, directly across from one of the city’s most notable parks, and within walking distance of numerous Washington Heights shops and restaurants. Entering this spacious residence, you’ll immediately notice the seamless merging of vintage architectural details with modern updates. The kitchen has been stunningly transformed with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A double corner window invites morning light inside. The expansive open living room offers ample space, along with a charming dining nook area. The bedrooms are located down the hall for enhanced privacy, and each is generously sized with ceiling fan lights and ample closet space. One of the bedrooms features full-height bookshelves along one wall, plus corner exposures. Lovely courtyard views are offered from windows throughout the residence. The updated bathroom includes wall-to-wall tile and a combination soaking tub and shower. This picture-perfect apartment is part of a highly popular, pet-friendly co-op community, with buildings connected by gardens and walkways. Amenities include resident superintendents and porters, updated laundry facilities, a bike room, and optional storage. The A train and 1 line are both just steps away, as are Fort Tryon Park, The Met Cloisters, and Sir William’s Dog Run. Situated between Bennett Avenue and Broadway, a multitude of neighborhood restaurants are within easy walking distance. This property qualifies for a $20,000 non-repayable, non-recorded grant (with no income restrictions or caps). The grant may be used toward a down payment, closing costs, a permanent rate buy-down, or to pay your real estate agent—your choice, based on your specific needs.

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.
