Unusual offering in a traditional Harlem row house: Two interior entrances lead to two separate duplex, two bedroom apartment units flooded with light from northern and southern exposures. Within the private entrance to the left, an interior stair connects floors 1 and 2 of the lower duplex unit. Within the private right entrance, a new stair connects all floors throughout the central core of the building, utilizing a cleverly constructed footprint. The upper duplex unit is situated on floors 3 and 4.
The gracious ‘double extension’ proportions of the building facilitate flexible use options: conversion to a one-family or 3-family home; maintaining the space ‘as is’ - with an owner-occupied unit and a rental income unit, or utilizing both units as an investment vehicle. Additional living space, such as a media room, exercise room, etc., may be added in the fully-built windowed cellar, which includes an exit door to the rear yard.
This property has the best that Harlem has to offer - a premier location on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in central Harlem. The units reflect original period details, such as mantles, wainscoting and hardwood floors complemented by the application of modern appurtenances. The open-style concept floor plan for each unit includes: Lower Duplex Unit: a foyer, living room, dining area and kitchen; a master bedroom, 2nd full size bedroom, 1.5 baths, washer/dryer, and outdoor balcony. Upper Duplex Unit: large foyer at the entry level from the street; a master bedroom, 2nd full size bedroom; 1.5 baths; dining area and kitchen; washer/dryer; a bonus room that may be used as a guest room or office leading to an outdoor balcony; and large automated skylights.

Quick Profile
The neighborhood called West Harlem by the locals is known as Manhattanville to neighborhood newcomers. The area is culturally diverse and might be considered a microcosm of the city as a whole.
Columbia University has recently expanded into the area, which is attracting student residents from all over the world. Together with students from the City College of New York and young professionals fleeing higher prices in other neighborhoods, this influx of younger residents has brought with it more restaurants and bars on W 125th Street to serve this clientele. There are also new ventures, like a rock-climbing gym, to cater to the interests of these students and young professionals. At the same time, there are many small, family-owned shops and restaurants that have been anchors of the neighborhood for multiple generations.
The area has been through a housing upgrade, as older properties have been renovated and abandoned properties have been razed to make room for new development. There are still reasonably priced apartments available. Young professionals are finding that there is a certain cachet to living in West Harlem. It provides a convenient commute to the city and all of its amenities, while providing a sense of escape at the end of a long work day.
While rentals are popular with the student population, the young professionals are delighted to find pre-war brownstones, pre-war co-ops (including some income-capped HDFCs for lower- and middle-income buyers), and post-war condos that they can afford, although prices are rising. Some new low-rise developments, sporting virtual doormen and desired amenities, are cropping up.
