225 Bennett Avenue 2R

Perched along a quiet Hudson Heights street abutting Fort Tryon Park’s dramatic cliffside, this inviting second-floor interior end-unit studio is located in a distinguished 1940 prewar cooperative known for its larger-than-average residences. With only one shared wall, the apartment offers exceptional privacy and quiet—an increasingly rare find in Manhattan. The six-story yellow-brick building sits beside an impressive granite park wall that acts as a natural sound barrier, giving the block a secluded, almost hidden feel. A limestone arched entrance with ironwork detailing opens into a beautifully preserved marble-clad lobby with vaulted ceilings and decorative reliefs, evoking classic Art Deco style in a refined, understated form. Inside, solid prewar construction and generous proportions are immediately apparent. Many residences in the building retain original details such as hardwood floors, arched doorways, and high ceilings, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. The well-maintained cooperative offers elevators, a well-equipped laundry room, first-come first-served storage, and a live-in superintendent. Flexible policies allowing sublets, pied-à-terres, and pets further distinguish this building from typical co-ops. Just outside your door, Fort Tryon Park unfolds with gardens, walking paths, scenic overlooks, playgrounds, dog runs, and The Cloisters museum. The park connects directly to the Hudson River Greenway, offering miles of waterfront cycling and jogging paths. Commuters enjoy excellent access to transportation, with the express A train at 190th Street moments away through the park and the local 1 train at 191st Street nearby, providing quick connections throughout Manhattan. The surrounding Hudson Heights and Inwood neighborhoods offer a vibrant mix of local dining, shops, and everyday conveniences—all within a relaxed, residential setting. A rare opportunity to enjoy prewar charm, generous space, and true tranquility in one of Upper Manhattan’s most scenic enclaves.
