MAGICAL MID-CENTURY! On a quiet, idyllic tree-lined street primarily consisting of prewar buildings, you’ll find this masterpiece of a 1BR/1BA nestled atop greenery right outside the rare mid-century modern building complete with an indoor garage. The clean lines of this particular architectural style have offered an amazing canvas to the thoughtful updates that have created, in short, a home you've always dreamed of!

You enter into a foyer with a massive walk-in closet, leading to the kitchen and living room on the left and the bedroom and the bathroom on the right...an ideal separation of the living and sleeping areas. The kitchen that has been opened up to the living room has gone through a top-to-bottom overhaul, creating a home chef's dream-come-true space where you can make all your culinary aspirations a reality - and never again lack prep space or storage! White shaker-style cabinetry from here to eternity is complemented by creative subway-tile backsplash with dark grout, black granite counters, and all stainless steel appliances for a trendy industrial look, making the kitchen not only highly functional, but also a visual show-stopper as a seamless part of your overall living space. The bedroom with another walk-in closet (plus a large linen closet!) and two exposures gets a lovely cross breeze, and is generous enough to easily accommodate a king-size bed and then some; the current owners have managed to also carve out a generous work station without compromising the integrity of the room. The fully updated all-white bathroom has a classic subway tiling and fixtures that complete the subtle industrial look, and there's even a secret storage closet that lets you hide all the not-so-pretty bathroom essentials. The original parquet floors throughout the apartment have been stained with a rich dark finish to complete the modern look of this stunning home.

Surrounded by green with both the picturesque Isham Park and the magnificent Inwood Hill Park just a few short blocks away, the location simply couldn’t be better. Combine that with an affordable price, extra low maintenance stretching your $$$ quite a bit further, and gracious spatial proportions, and you start to understand why Upstate Manhattan is a destination that's here to stay!

This fantastic nabe has great outdoor opportunities, providing easy access to tennis, basketball, and handball courts, baseball and soccer fields, hiking/biking trails, and kayaking. It boasts the best dog run of the city (according to many) and is a nature-loving city-dweller’s fantasy fulfilled. The local services include a year-round farmer’s market, cafes and restaurants, banks, florists, and hardware stores; River Plaza shopping center with Target, Marshall’s, etc. is only a short distance away. Inwood is serviced by A express and 1 local subway lines, Metro North (Marble Hill), and the east-side express bus to lower Manhattan, and is easily accessible by most major highways.
