Property Description for 69 East 130th Street, 2-A

Stretch out and relax in one of Harlem's most affordable and spacious doorman two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes. Featuring pristine finishes and more than 1,000 square feet of living space, you'll love this move-in-ready, modern condominium in the heart of one of Manhattan's most exciting neighborhoods.

Beautiful northern light and neighborhood views that skim over the quiet gardens and courtyards of the quaint nearby homes follow you throughout this well-planned home. You'll be greeted by gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings and a large walk-in entry closet the moment you arrive, and the oversized great room provides a generous footprint for living and dining areas. The well-stocked kitchen is pure perfection with granite countertops and tons of handsome cabinetry surrounding full-size stainless steel appliances, including a built-in microwave, gas range and brand-new Bosch dishwasher. Serene and spacious bedrooms are tucked down a quiet hallway. The master features an en suite bathroom and large closet, while the second bedroom is positioned across from the second well-appointed bathroom. Another huge walk-in closet in the hallway ensures that storage will never be a concern in this Harlem dream home.

The Walden is a beautiful, modern condominium building featuring doorman service six days a week, complimentary central laundry facilities and a bike room. A tax abatement in place until 2031 adds to this gorgeous home's tremendous appeal.

Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block between Park and Madison avenues, this home is at the heart of the Central Harlem renaissance. Within a 10-block radius, you'll find proposed new construction, building sites and sold out developments at every turn, all pointing to the tremendous value and upside potential to be found in the area. There are excellent greenspaces in every direction including the newly announced expansion of the East Side Greenway which the city just announced a $100 million commitment to extend the Greenway from 125th Street to 132nd Street and develop the East Harlem Waterfront. Once completed the Greenway and park will extend from East 53rd Street to 132nd Street. The area's coveted shopping, dining and entertainment venues are just blocks away, including Sylvia's, Red Rooster and the brand-new Harlem Whole Foods on 125th Street. The 4/5/6 and 2/3 subway lines, plus Metro-North trains, provide easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.

East Harlem | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Take a stroll through East Harlem and you’ll find a vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhood, which is evident no matter which direction you look. East Harlem is also known as Spanish Harlem, El Barrio, and “The Neighborhood,” as it is home to a population that represents Hispanic immigrants, primarily from Puerto Rico, as well as from Mexico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. These immigrants brought their cultures with them, in the form of music, dance, art, and food. During the day, you’ll find the neighborhood filled with opportunities to experience Latin culture. Both the salsa dance craze and the graffiti style of art were born right in East Harlem. There are many great places to sample authentic cuisine, from Rao’s (where you cannot get a table unless you inherit one, and any reservations must be booked years in advance) to sidewalk carts, where you can get the best “street meat” to be had in NYC.

In East Harlem you’ll find a number of innovative educational opportunities in the form of specialized and charter schools that are considered top-notch. Many of these have very competitive admissions criteria and offer curricula that focus on creativity and social awareness. Such schools are a draw for young families that want to raise their children in an educational system that goes above and beyond the standard.

The vibe of East Harlem is one of community and neighbors that interact with each other routinely. There are many small, family-owned and -operated businesses and restaurants that have been neighborhood anchors for years. As you stroll through East Harlem, you will be immersed in sights, sounds and flavors that are straight from Latin American or the Caribbean islands, sometimes both at once. You can sample Puerto Rican-inspired plantain mofongo, which is mashed plantains with garlic and pork rinds, from local sidewalk carts. Or if it is a hot summer’s day, you might enjoy a Mexican-inspired licuado, which is a blended drink similar to a smoothie, made with milk, fruit, and ice. Sometimes, spices, citrus juices, and sugar are added. Although you will find an abundance of authentic cuisine and music no matter where you look in East Harlem.

Prefer to cook at home? East River Plaza offers Target, Costco, and Aldi stores, all of which offer fresh food at reasonable prices.

East Harlem housing consists of more affordable walk-ups, low-rise pre-war buildings, brownstones, and is dominated housing complexes. You can find some comparatively large apartments at reasonable price points, and even some rent-stabilized apartments. Luxury co-op and condo units are being built on the southern boundary of East Harlem.
