On entering its gracious lobby, your instincts tell you that theres something special about this place. A magnet for Harlem Renaissance luminaries, poet Countee Cullen lived here as did Jules Bledsoe, the first major Black opera star in the U. S. as well as Adam Clayton Powell Sr. and his son, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston wrote most of their storied play, Mule Bone, here at The Garrison, a coop since 1929. On entering Apartment 24, those looking for prewar charm will be pleasantly surprised by its gracious bones and a welcoming hallway that says show me more. Youll realize that youve discovered a NYC gem a gut renovated apartment that reeks of prewar charm high ceilings, a wood paneled living room, a decorative fireplace while offering all the comforts of modern living. EVERYTHING HERE IS NEW - including a new kitchen with wood cabinets that reach the ceiling, LG appliances, new tiled bathrooms, one with a clawfoot tub and the other a walk-in shower, new floors and new recessed lighting. You know how living in a prewar building may mean that doors dont close properly or that floors may slant or creak not here. Even every door frame, doorknob and the moldings are brand new! The home -and it is a home not a series of white boxes - can easily be configured into a 2 bedroom with an exposed brick dining room or with an office space. The Garrison is a NYC landmark and registered on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Hamilton Heights Historic District. For more on its rich history see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garrison_Apartments,_435_Convent_Avenue Building features include an elevator, a ButterflyMX video security system, storage room, bike storage, laundry room, a lovely garden maintained by shareholders and a live-in superintendent. Its just blocks from City College, the 28-acre Riverbank State Park and the 11-acre, newly renovated Jackie Robinson Park with indoor and outdoor gym facilities, baseball diamonds, basketball and volleyball courts and a bandshell that hosts local concerts. Public transportation is ideal. Its a short 15 minute ride to midtown from the 145th Street A/B/C/D express subway station, which is one block away. Please call me at Marianne , to schedule an appointment to see the kind of home that an elegant prewar building can offer.
