Listing Notes
Lightly renovated 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment in a handsome prewar elevator building in the heart of Washington Heights! The kitchen will need a refrigerator installed by the purchaser. The building has an elevator, is self-managed and is in great financial shape. Most banks will lend in this property. The maintenance is low and very competitive for the neighborhood. By the 1 and C train, crosstown buses, two major roadways, and the shopping corridor on Broadway. You have shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and convenience stores and financial institutions along with Riverside Drive walking path and Edgecombe Park. This is an HDFC with 120 percent AMI. The coop will allow 90 percent financing and only consider income but not assets. This should also be a primary residence. Gifting, co-purchasing and guarantors are allowed. Accepting offers!
