Property Description for 240 West 136th Street, 2

Be the first to live in this brand new impeccable renovation in West Harlem. Ideally located between Harlem Hospital Center and City College, 240 W 136th Street is one block from St Nicholas Park and a five minute walk from the A,C,B, 2, and 3 trains. This bright and airy townhouse triplex has been gut renovated to the core and tastefully refinished. The parlour floor living/dining room is 30 feet in length and has eleven foot ceilings. It flows into the south facing eat-in kitchen, where you have a plethora of storage and cooking space. No expense was spared on the appliance package- there is four burner Bertazzoni gas stove and oven combination, a Bosch dishwasher, and Liebherr refrigerator. A back staircase leads to the south facing private garden. There is a private vestibule entry at the front door and a powder room cleverly built into the stairs leading to the bedroom suites. Upstairs are four bright and airy bedrooms, two per floor, all with hardwood floors and ten foot ceilings. The windows have been replaced and the radiators are brand new and energy efficient. The utilities here will be incredibly low. The master suite has a walk in closet and shared bath with double sinks, double vanities, and a soaking tub. On the third floor are two more spacious bedrooms, another bath, and a laundry/utility room with storage, folding counter, and GE vented electric washer dryer. All bathrooms have Duravit toilets and Grohe fixtures, and there is more storage available in the basement. Each floor has it’s own thermostat and intercom. Every room in the house has been installed with track lighting and ceiling fans. This lovely home is an incredible value and is available for a long term lease.

Harlem | Manhattan

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.
