About This Property

SERENE CORNER ONE-BEDROOM OASIS

Enter and immediately feel the wonderful sense of space in this beautifully proportioned home, where lovingly restored Classic Art Deco details are thoughtfully preserved throughout.

The large eat-in kitchen retains so much of its original charm, from the double porcelain sink to the solid-wood cabinetry with Bakelite cabinet handles. It’s a wonderful opportunity to incorporate these beautiful vintage elements into a more modern design—or simply enjoy them exactly as they are.

The generous living room provides plenty of space to relax, while the separate, spacious dining area makes entertaining a pleasure, with room to comfortably host sit-down dinners for friends and family. The vintage bathroom is perfection, enhanced with just the right amount of thoughtful updating. Tucked quietly away from the entertaining spaces, the bedroom offers a wonderful sense of privacy and two exposures.

Both the kitchen and bedroom overlook leafy treetops and the charming, red-tiled roof of a neighboring home—a little slice of European character right here in Manhattan.

Throughout the apartment, basket-weave floors, 8'8" ceilings, four generously sized closets, and a mix of original and newer fixtures pay a respectful and stylish homage to the building’s Art Deco heritage.

17 Chittenden Avenue, known as Chittenden House, was designed by architect Israel L. Crausman and built in 1939. Residents enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities, including a lush and serene rear garden tucked behind the building, with an English-garden feel, inviting seating areas and a BBQ. There is free bike storage, private storage lockers, a Resident Superintendent, central laundry, and a pet-friendly policy.

And then there’s the spectacular Roof Deck, offering unparalleled panoramic views stretching from the George Washington Bridge to the Tappan Zee. Beautifully furnished wooden seating areas, inspired planters and elegant string lighting create an enchanting setting—perfect for watching the city glitter at night or enjoying sun-drenched lounging by day.

Chittenden House sits in the heart of Manhattan’s most bucolic neighborhood, surrounded by some of the city’s most extraordinary natural beauty. Just moments away are beautiful Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters, tennis courts, and miles of Hudson River bicycling and walking paths leading toward the Little Red Lighthouse and some of the most breathtaking vistas in Manhattan.

At the same time, the neighborhood has blossomed with new cafés, restaurants and charming local spots for groceries, facials, Pilates and all the little pleasures of daily life. The A express whisks you to Midtown in approximately 20 minutes, and garage parking is conveniently located just around the corner.

A peaceful, character-filled home in an extraordinary setting—where Art Deco charm, gracious proportions, spectacular views and the best of Upper Manhattan come together.

Memories start here on Chittenden Avenue—the sweetest secret in Upper Manhattan.
