689 Fort Washington Ave APT 5D

Huge One-Bedroom at Landmark Building! With its bright and airy layout, this oversized one-bedroom co-op combines vintage charm with modern updates. This unit in Hudson Heights is move-in ready, with a functional kitchen and bath. Location also matters, at the corner of Fort Washington Avenue and W 190th Street and just a block from Fort Tryon Park. This landmark structure with its Romanesque Revival appearance was designed by architect James F. Delaney circa 1928. It was originally home to the St. Elizabeth Hospital and operated by Franciscan nuns for most of its tenure. The hospital closed in 1981 and was subsequently sold. The property underwent a gut renovation, reopening 1985 with 84 co-op units. This upper level one-bedroom residence has since received a fresh makeover, further adding to the appeal. Oversized windows invite the natural light inside, bathing refinished hardwood floors in a warm glow. A huge main living and dining area offers lots of space to relax and unwind in. The bedroom boasts two sunny exposures and two large closets. Create great meals in a functional kitchen with dark stone counters. The bathroom has also been nicely redone with a modern ambience. The pet-friendly building with its unique backstory has a live-in super, two entrances, two elevators, and a well-equipped laundry room. It’s proximity to Fort Tryon Park, the Met Cloisters, the Heather Garden and other outdoor attractions is another part of the allure. You’ll be on a treelined street, close to the A train and favorite local restaurants like Café Bloom, High Hill Diner, Refried Beans and more!
