565 W 169TH Street #4I

First time on the market in over a decade, Apartment 4I is a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath residence located on the fourth floor of a six-story cooperative with just 53 units. Built in 1917-1918 and converted to a cooperative between 1920 and 1922 - an unusually early conversion for the period - the building has long been known for its stability and strong sense of community. Residents who buy here tend to stay for many years, a testament to the building's appeal. This is pre-war at its best. Enter Apartment 4I through a welcoming hallway foyer with a coat closet. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the well-lit pre-war living room, where beautifully decorative moldings frame the windows that bring in lovely eastern light. To the left, in a wing of its own, are the two bedooms and bath, creating a sense of privacy from the main living area. The apartment features beautiful narrow-strip hardwood floors throughout, refinished approximately ten years ago. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating an easy layout for entertaining. Even though you don't have a formal dining room, the area can comfortably accommodate a table for six. The kitchen is a standout feature, highlighted by a striking arched window set within a deep architectural niche - a beautiful pre-war detail that creates the perfect ledge for plants or decorative accents. A vintage-style stove, purchased in 2016, adds a touch of classic New York character, complemented by concrete countertops. The refrigerator, a high-end matte white by Fisher and Paykel, and a stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, were purchased in 2023. The primary bedroom is a bright corner room with northeast exposures, filled with natural light throughout the day, and features double closets for excellent storage. Its generous layout comfortably accommodates a large bed along with additional furniture, creating a calm and inviting retreat. The second bedroom also enjoys excellent light from two large windows and offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or additional sleeping space. Both bedrooms are well-sized, offering the flexibility to create the space you want and need. An additional large hallway closet provides ample storage just outside the updated bathroom. The tiled bathroom features recently updated plumbing and chrome hardware, with a newly recoated bathtub. Woodrow Court has a strong sense of community, with residents gathering together for holidays and building events.
