Few things are quite as enchanting as Hudson View Gardens (HVG) in full bloom, and this unit gives you VIP seats. This expansive one-bedroom, with its privacy-inducing evergreens just outside, begins in the roomy, inviting, and functional foyer with a welcome closet. HVG's signature casement and transom windows draw you into the abundant living room space, and its western exposure offers ample light all day. A charming office nook and bonus closet are conveniently tucked just out of the way. The dual-entry kitchen has original cabinetry and a butcher block on one side, a Silestone countertop with a dishwasher on the other, and lots of cupboard and counter space. French doors lead to the adjoining dining alcove, which overlooks the stunning architecture of HVG and its lush and lively verdure. The generous bedroom has enough space for your California King and additional furniture, with two closets. Just outside the bedroom, you will find your bathroom and linen closet-- for a total of 5 closets, but who's counting?

With HVG, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, you not only get a home, but you also get a community. The beautiful outdoor areas to relax in -- including a formal rose garden, a koi pond, and a patio with views of the Hudson River -- are just a small part of what makes living here so wonderful. With gardeners for the property, you can relax surrounded by beautiful plantings without the upkeep. You'll find a communal container herb garden on the patio, grills, tables, and chairs. The Lounge is used for many events open to the public throughout the year, including concerts, readings, lectures, and special events. HVG sponsors celebrating newcomers, the Kentucky Derby, and July 4th for residents. Shareholder-sponsored classes, such as yoga and Alexander Technique, are also available. Shareholders can also rent the Lounge for personal use. An active Parents Group schedules many events throughout the year, such as parties for holidays, ice cream socials, playground get-togethers, and pizza parties. The group maintains HVG's private playground and playroom.

There is 24-hour on-site security, a communal laundry room, daily mail delivery to your apartment door, and a staffed package room. Other amenities (with fees) include parking in the private lane (daytime parking for residents and guests is free), an apartment available for rent for shareholder's guests, a fitness room, storage lockers, and bicycle rooms. Although HVG is a quiet oasis, the A train, with its 20-minute ride to midtown, is less than 5 minutes away. Restaurants, supermarkets, and wine and liquor stores are less than 10 minutes away. Walks along the Hudson River and in Olmsted-designed Ft. Tryon Park and the Cloisters are close at hand. Maintenance ($1,393.30) + Assessment ($210.26)+ AC ($28.52)= $1,632.08
