Description

This Hudson View Gardens crown jewel is uniquely situated on the fifth floor of the J-Building, offering exquisite views by day and night down the private lane and much of the ever-changing west side Manhattan skyline and Hudson River. Much of the admired pre-war charm associated with HVG has been, rather impressively, preserved.


Your eat-in kitchen is the perfect marriage of old and new with direct morning light to start your day. The original butcher block (refinished) to one side and granite counters to the other blend seamlessly with the solid maple cabinetry and the high-end appliances, such as the Bosch dishwasher and stove, to supply modern comfort. Two gorgeous custom corner hutches accent the separation between the kitchen and dining area, giving decorative show space and storage.


The living room grants you the first look at the captivating view; you will not want to leave. The bonus Murphy bed nook, well known to the HVG community, was opened up to create the perfect office space, adorned with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf.


The bathroom maintains immaculately kept original tiles and tub. That original, pre-war iron tub will make soaking in your new bath a must, so bring your bubbles.


The main bedroom, also boasting astounding views, offers two closets and a window bench. You can easily get cozy with a book or stare off into the distance at the glistening night lights of New York City. The second bedroom is just as roomy and also has two closets. Both can accommodate a king-sized bed and additional furniture, comfortably.


Maintenance includes utilities (Water, Gas, Heat, Electric) and Real Estate Taxes.


Hudson View Gardens was erected in 1924 by developer Charles Paterno. The design was by George F. Pelham, which was inspired not just by the obvious Tudor revival but by the Garden City Movement. This has kept HVG a lush and lively little hamlet, which has earned its place on The National and New York State Registers of Historic Places. The grounds and their vibrance have been a priority since this cooperatives inception.


This Co-op is not just a home, but also a diverse and welcoming community with a host of interest groups and a calendar of social events, Alexander Technique classes, and concerts that are open to all. The grounds provide beautiful gardens to enjoy. The grills and patio tables offer a view of the river for you to revel in the warmer seasons. There is 24-hour security. Letter mail is delivered to your door, and there is a staffed package room. The Lounge, which can be reserved for special events, has a full kitchen, bar and two pianos. Residents have the option to reserve the penthouse for their guests, conveniently located in the J Building. Did I mention the private playground and playroom? Laundry, parking, gym, storage, and a bike room are available. HVG is also pet-friendly.


Location, location, location. You are one block from the Express A-train. If the grounds of HVG dont offer you enough space to roam, you have Bennett Park across the street, the overpass to Riverside Park and the Hudson River Greenway. Fort Tryon Park, with breathtaking views and the Metropolitans Cloisters Museum, bounds the neighborhood's north end. The shopping center of Hudson Heights is on 187th St, which offers an array of cuisine and other options: neighborhood favorite- Cafe Buunni (Ethiopian coffee), Tampopo Kitchen (Japanese), Kismat (Indian), Frescos (amazing pizza), Refried Beans (Mexican), Dutch Baby (Bakery/cafe) among others, two banks, two grocery stores, a wine shop, choice of dry cleaners, a pharmacy and more. You are also a stones throw from the abundant restaurant options on 181st Street.


Hudson View Gardens is highly sought after for so many reasons. Come see why.
