565 West 169th Street Upper Manhattan Apartment For Sale

First time on the market in over a decade, Apartment 4I is a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath residence located on the fourth floor of a six-story cooperative with just 53 units. Built in 1917-1918 and converted between 1920 and 1922 - an unusually early conversion - Woodrow Court is known for its stability and strong sense of community. Residents who buy here tend to stay, a testament to the building's enduring appeal. This is pre-war at its best.

Enter through a welcoming foyer with a coat closet, where your eye is immediately drawn to the well-lit living room. Beautiful decorative moldings frame the windows, bringing in soft eastern light. To the left, set apart in its own wing, are the two bedrooms and bath, offering a sense of privacy from the main living space. Narrow-strip hardwood floors run throughout, refinished approximately ten years ago.

The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating an easy layout for entertaining. Even though you don't have a formal dining room, the area can comfortably accommodate a table for six. The kitchen is a standout feature, highlighted by a striking arched window set within a deep architectural niche - a beautiful pre-war detail that creates the perfect ledge for plants or decorative accents. A vintage-style stove, purchased in 2016, adds a touch of classic New York character, complemented by concrete countertops. The refrigerator, a high-end matte white by Fisher and Paykel, and a stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, were purchased in 2023.

The primary bedroom is a bright corner room with northeast exposures, filled with natural light throughout the day, and features double closets for excellent storage. Its generous proportions easily accommodate a large bed and additional furniture, creating a calm and inviting retreat. The second bedroom also enjoys excellent light from two large windows and offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or additional sleeping space. Both rooms are well-sized, allowing you to shape the space to suit your needs. An additional large hallway closet provides ample storage just outside the updated bathroom. The tiled bathroom includes updated plumbing and chrome hardware, with a newly recoated bathtub.

Woodrow Court offers a strong sense of community, with residents gathering for holidays and building events. Amenities include a community room, gym, roof deck with outdoor seating and open views, and a laundry room with hanging racks. The building is well maintained by a live-in superintendent, with a full-time doorman on staff 24/7. Bike storage and additional storage cages are also available.

Positioned on the northeast corner of Broadway and West 169th Street, the building offers immediate access to the A, C, and #1 subway lines right outside your door. Maintenance is notably low, supported in part by income from the commercial storefronts at the base of the building. Audubon Playground sits directly across the street, and the neighborhood is anchored by Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and Columbia University. Fort Tryon Park and J. Hood Wright Park are both nearby. A vibrant mix of restaurants, services, and everyday conveniences completes a location that is both connected and easy - and one that residents tend to remain part of, for years.
