Payson House at 91 Payson Avenue stands as one of Inwood's most distinguished Art Deco buildings, with its restored lobby featured in the Manhattan Times and architectural design that has earned recognition in the New York Times. This immaculately maintained historic co-op preserves the elegance of its era while offering modern conveniences, including a beautifully planted courtyard garden, resident superintendent, central laundry facilities, storage, package room, and parking with a waiting list.
The building's apartments showcase exceptional original details that have been lovingly preserved, including herringbone floors, period wall sconces, and solid oak closet doors. Most units feature sunken living rooms with double arches and 9 foot ceilings, gracious entry foyers, and multiple exposures that flood the spaces with natural light. The apartments range from one to two bedrooms, with many offering spectacular views of the Cloisters, Palisades, and Inwood Hill Park from higher floors. Renovated kitchens typically feature high end appliances including Bertazzoni ranges, while vintage bathrooms retain their original charm with deep soaking tubs and classic fixtures.
Payson House enjoys an enviable location directly across from Inwood Hill Park, with Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters just to the south. Residents have easy access to the A express train, the Westside Highway, and local amenities including restaurants, shopping, and Isham Park's year round Saturday Green Market. The building represents a rare opportunity to own in what many consider Inwood's most sought after Art Deco residence, where apartments rarely come to market and the combination of historic character, park views, and neighborhood tranquility creates an exceptional Manhattan living experience.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
