Listing Notes
Come home to Apartment 44 at 501 West 156th Street, a bright and spacious two-bedroom prewar HDFC co-op with open city views. This fourth-floor walkup apartment offers a beautiful corner living room with high ceilings and five large windows facing east and south. Sunlight fills the space throughout the day, and there are partial views of the downtown skyline. There is more than enough space for separate living and dining sets and a desk if you work from home. 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.
