This fourth-floor walkup apartment offers a beautiful corner living room with high ceilings and five large windows facing east and south.

The windowed kitchen is both functional and inviting, with granite countertops, an induction range, and two large windows that make it a pleasant place to cook. Both bedrooms feature generous linear closets, and the primary can comfortably fit a queen-sized bed with other furniture. A windowed bathroom, in-unit laundry, and hardwood floors throughout complete this lovely home. 501 West 156th Street is an HDFC cooperative with no limits on financing, and multiple banks are familiar with lending in the building. Pets are welcome. Located moments from the 1 and C trains, residents also enjoy proximity to the many restaurants and bars nearby and the acclaimed Hispanic Society Museum & Library at the end of the block.
