Bright, Sun-Filled Castle Village Home with Hudson River Views Bathed in natural light from its southwest exposure, this gracious home at Castle Village offers the warmth and privacy of a house with the convenience of apartment living. Originally configured as a large one-bedroom, the spacious layout has been thoughtfully adapted to maximize flexibility and functionality. Although entered directly from the lobby level, every window enjoys elevated second-floor views overlooking the beautifully landscaped gardens between the buildings, with mature trees, lush plantings, the charming Tudor architecture of Hudson View Gardens, the George Washington Bridge and even a glimpse of the Hudson River. A generous foyer, currently used as a dining area, creates a welcoming first impression and flows into the fully renovated, windowed kitchen, which opens partially to the living room for an airy, connected feel. The expansive sunken living room is currently divided into two distinct spaces—a comfortable living area and a den that serves perfectly as a home office or potential second bedroom. The living room and primary bedroom are positioned at opposite ends of the apartment, offering exceptional privacy for both residents and guests. Storage is outstanding throughout, featuring a walk-in closet at the entry, a large linen closet opposite the bathroom, and an oversized flexible space adjacent to the bedroom that could easily be transformed into an impressive custom walk-in closet or dressing area. Beautiful prewar details remain intact, including herringbone hardwood floors, high ceilings, original Bakelite doorknobs, bullet hinges, and the original built-in laundry cabinet in the bathroom, providing both charm and practical storage. The renovated, windowed kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, generous storage, white quartzite countertops, and full-size high end appliances. The original windowed bathroom has been exceptionally well maintained and retains its timeless character with white pedestal sink, bathtub and toilet and the original gray wall and floor tiles, built-in hamper with upper storage compartment, updated medicine cabinet, and modern lighting. There is an ongoing capital assessment of $92.61/month, a bulk high-speed internet charge of $10/month, and a separate 48-month assessment of $408.94/month through December 2029, which the seller will consider paying off at closing. Castle Village's amenities are truly exceptional. Perched above the Hudson River on 7½ acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the community offers winding walking paths, picnic areas, community and herb gardens, a playground, and countless spots to relax while enjoying spectacular river views and sunsets. Residents also enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor playroom, rooftop decks on every building, garage parking, community room, laundry facilities in each building, storage cages, bike storage, live-in superintendent, on-site management, full-time doormen, porters, and handymen—providing an unmatched level of service and convenience. Despite its peaceful, park-like setting, Castle Village is just 20 minutes from Midtown Manhattan and moments from Fort Tryon Park, The Met Cloisters, Riverside Park, the Little Red Lighthouse, neighborhood restaurants, and Starbucks. This is a rare opportunity to own a spacious, character-filled home in one of Upper Manhattan's most sought-after cooperatives. Welcome home.
