Mr__Roarke was right, silver hydroxide (white) is very unstable and should quickly decompose to silver oxide(black) and water. But if you watch the reaction VERY carefully, you probaly could see the white ppt forms initially then quickly turns gray then black.
2AgNO3 + 2NaOH ---> Ag2O + 2NaNO3 + H2O

Look I guess it is:
silver nitrate + sodium hydroxide ----> Silver hydroxide + Sodium nitrate
AgNO3 + NaOH -----> AgOH + NaNO3
Am not so sure okay!

2Ag+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) <==> Ag2O(s) + H2O(l)
The reaction produces the oxide form of silver, not the hydroxide.

AgNO3 + NaOH -> AgOH (ppt) + NaNO3
