720 Fort Washington Ave Unit 3Y, New York, NY 10040

Property Description

Massive, beautifully renovated, and filled with prewar character, this oversized one-bedroom with a dedicated dining area and bonus office area offers a truly unique layout and an exceptional amount of space. The apartment has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, blending modern upgrades with the building's original charm. Skim-coated walls, custom paint, matching crown moldings, restored steel doorframes, and graceful archways create a cohesive, sophisticated feel, while a complete electrical upgrade allows for modern living without sacrificing character. At the heart of the home is a beautifully redesigned kitchen that opens seamlessly into the expansive dining and living areas-an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features European stainless-steel appliances, tumbled marble flooring, under- and over-cabinet lighting, and handblown light fixtures. The spa-like bathroom was completely rebuilt from the studs and features an extra-deep soaking tub, separate rain and handheld shower heads, water-glass and porcelain tile, a river-pebble floor, brushed-nickel finishes, and custom bluestone detailing. Overlooking the building's lush gardens, the pin-drop-quiet oversized bedroom has multiple closets and plenty of space for a reading nook or additional home office. One of the apartment's most striking features is its unusually open layout. Walls between the living room, dining room, and foyer were removed to create a spacious flow rarely found in prewar apartments, while custom arches were introduced to maintain the architectural character of the building. Residents of 720/730 enjoy access to a private fitness center, bike storage, multiple laundry rooms, and cold storage for an additional fee. The building is pet-friendly and ideally located near Fort Tryon Park and the Hudson River, offering some of Upper Manhattan's most picturesque green space just moments from home. Javits Playground is directly across the street, and the property is located within the highly sought-after PS/IS 187 school zone. A rare combination of scale, thoughtful renovation, flexible space, and classic prewar charm.
