549 West 187th Street

Welcome to this unique and thoughtfully maintained Georgian/Art Deco brownstone, nestled on one of the widest residential blocks in Washington Heights—a vibrant and multicultural pocket of the city.

This 2-family home offers the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. The ground floor features a spacious one-bedroom unit with a separate entrance and direct access to the backyard—ideal as an in-law suite or income-producing rental. Above, the main entrance leads to the parlor floor and two additional levels with ample space, as well as the potential to expand one more floor.

Original wood molding and decorative fireplaces (originally gas) add to the home’s classic appeal. Recent thorough renovation modernized the property with new kitchens, bathrooms, and boiler and more, seamlessly blending contemporary design with timeless elegance. The home also boasts built-in features, a laundry area with a slop sink, a bathroom on every floor, ample closet space, and high-end appliances. For instance, the parlor floor kitchen is equipped with Liebherr, Bosch, GE Profile, and Viking appliances, while the bathrooms are designed with Duravit toilets and sinks and Hansgrohe fixtures, with the primary bedroom suite housing a BainUltra thermomasseur jacuzzi.

Every corner of this home invites tranquility, from cozy sitting nooks by the windows overlooking the garden to the sunlit stoop, bay windows facing the south, and even a peaceful skylight room. From the parlor kitchen extension, you can step out onto the back patio with stairs down to a personal outdoor retreat. The garden provides a private sanctuary, featuring a happily growing pear tree and blooming rose bushes. Flourishing in the heart of the block, amidst six townhouses, lies what we call ‘the Tree of Life’—a bright 6-story focal point alive with the cheerful chorus of birds, greeting you each morning.

Conveniently situated in the northern end of the backyard is a single-story workshop with wall-to-wall shelving and a window, an ideal space for work, hobbies, and/or storage.

This residence is located in an inviting community steeped in culture, with the United Palace theater, historical Armenian and Greek churches, Yeshiva University, various cuisine, and stunning parks like Highbridge, Fort Tryon, and even Inwood Park all within walking distance. With recent developments such as the Radio Hotel, GWB Terminal, and Target, this neighborhood is evolving. Enjoy quick and easy access to Midtown with a 25-minute ride on the express A train, the nearby 1 train, multiple bus lines, and convenient routes to the George Washington Bridge and major expressways.

This home offers the rare opportunity to live in an entire private property for the price of a two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan. With its thoughtful blend of history, style, and practicality, this is a home you’ll fall in love with—come see for yourself!
