New York (Hudson Heights), NY, 10034 | $540,000

You can move right in to this stylish, comfortable, spacious and bright 1 bedroom home in one of the most thoughtfully designed and managed cooperative apartment buildings in Hudson Heights. This home features authentic Art Deco flourishes: a flat-topped archway with curved corners, original wrought Iron railings that spiral down along side the curved step down from the large foyer to the sunken living room, subtle plaster moldings, chamfered baseboards, inlayed borders in the hardwood floors, and an escritoire that folds out of a delicately arched foyer niche with shelves. Large windows looking onto the courtyard gardens provide ample light and an airy feel - especially the big wrap-around corner window in the king-sized bedroom. A windowed dining room with a stenciled ceiling links the kitchen to the living room.

Functional updates add to this home's livability and cozy charm. The galley kitchen is contemporary and elegant, featuring warm wood cabinets with glass mullion doors and a matching dishwasher panel, ample stone countertops, mosaic backsplashes and full-sized stainless-steel refrigerator and range. The custom wall unit in the living room has both shelves for display and cabinets for storage, as well as cleverly disguised murphy bed that pulls down for overnight guests. There's another custom wall unit with rods for hanging clothes and drawers for folded clothes in the bedroom.

The apartment's gracious layout and distinctly separate rooms add to the home's functionality and versatility. There are four big closets: an entry closet in the foyer, two closets in the hallway leading from the foyer to the kitchen, bedroom and bath, and there's a large closet in the bedroom in addition to that custom wall unit. Because of the large foyer's proximity to both the kitchen and living room, it can serve as a dining room so the existing dining area could be used as an office or easily remodeled into a bedroom.

Other significant features at 360 Cabrini Blvd. include responsible management, solid financials, reliable staff (live in super, daytime porter, and doorman from 4PM to midnight), bulk rate savings for internet/cable, recently updated lobby and laundry, storage cages and bike room. The building is adjacent to the Cabrini Woods Nature Sanctuary, which is connected to the city's last remaining forested parklands along the Hudson River - Fort Washington Park, Fort Tyron Park, Inwood Hills Park, and Riverdale Park - a birdwatcher's dream during spring and fall migrations. Urban attractions abound, too, with markets, wine shops, coffee shops, a parking garage, and the A and 1 subway lines are all within easy strolling distance. Private showings by request.
