736 W 186th Street, New York City, NY 10033

An Art Deco Treasure!

Here is a rare opportunity to live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment at one of New York City’s Art Deco landmarks. Designed by Samson Becker, the building was completed in 1939 and was originally known as the Normandie. Perched at West 186th Street and Overlook Terrace, the six-story treasure features curvilinear corners and bays, with dramatic flourishes continuing once inside.

The appeal of this unit is evident upon entering, with sweeping archways, moldings, and other unique architectural details. The original hardwood floors with their walnut inlays have been lovingly preserved, and there is ample natural light from oversized windows. A huge dining area flows right into an extended living room with plenty of space for furniture, media, and entertaining friends.

A vestibule with a closet leads into a large and sunny bedroom with classic Deco corner windows. The renovated kitchen features butcher block counters, stainless steel appliances, white tile backsplashes, and lovely cabinetry. There’s even a breakfast nook right by the double windows. Also notable is the incredible vintage bathroom with its shades of cobalt blue honeycomb floor tile, white wall tile, deep soaking tub, pedestal sink, and a semi-wall next to the toilet for added privacy.

The building has a resident manager, virtual doorman, laundry room, bike room, extra storage, and courtyard. In-unit washers and dryers may be installed with Board approval. Cats are permitted but dogs are currently not. This is the heart of Hudson Heights, close to the historic Bennett Park, the Hudson River Greenway, and local favorites like Dutch Baby Bakery, Bunni Coffee, Uptown Garrison, 181 Cabrini, Kismat, Green Juice Café, and Northend Food. The 1 train is just three blocks away.
