The primary bedroom faces directly West over the Hudson River and has been updated with his and her custom walk-in closets and a fully renovated ensuite bathroom. Adjacent to the primary bedroom is the large study, with custom built-in bookcases/desks/shelving and a reading nook. See the alternate floor plan to understand how this could be converted into an additional bedroom if needed. The second bedroom, with ensuite bathroom, occupies its own private wing with views of the George Washington Bridge directly outside its windows.

The Castle Village Co-operative, designed by George F. Pelham Jr. and built between 1938-1939, occupies over seven acres along the Hudson River. True to its name, the design for the buildings was inspired by medieval European keeps and the entire complex was constructed with reinforced concrete, one of the first projects of its kind to do so. Castle Village is a community in and of itself with beautiful manicured lawns, community gardens and herb beds, walking paths, a children's playground and plenty of outdoor seating areas from which you can watch the Hudson flow by. In-building amenities include an incredible roof deck with 360 degree views, laundry room, bike storage, private storage, a community gym, indoor playroom, community room, garage, live-in super with additional staff and the on-site management office. Fort Tryon park, the Cloisters and Bennet Park (with outdoor jazz in the warmer months) are all within walking distance. Enjoy wonderful food and drink right outside your door at “181 Cabrini”, “Le Chéile” and “Saggio”. Get down to Times Square in approx. 30 min via the express A train or go local on the 1.
