Property Description for 640 West 139th Street, 42

Sponsor Unit Priced to Sell.

Located on one of the most charming streets in the very sought after, up-and-coming Hamilton Heights neighborhood, this three bedroom apartment offers an amazing opportunity and is priced to sell. Come home to a tree-lined street on Riverside Drive surrounded by beautiful looming prewar facades, fresh river breezes, along with a vibrant nightlife and a booming restaurant sector. This is a great opportunity to own an extremely rare sponsor unit in a section of Manhattan that is appreciating in value by the day.

This completely gut renovated sponsor unit has been meticulously renovated and restored. Upon entering you are welcomed by soaring ceilings, a wall of exposed brick, and a brand new eat-in chef’s kitchen equipped with a stainless steel cooking range, stainless steel refrigerator, and a convection microwave. The spacious master bedroom offers vast unobstructed northern views of the George Washington Bridge and Hudson River. The space benefits from a constant stream of natural light making the apartment bright, airy and open. Down the hallway, you have two additional spacious bedrooms and a bathroom, offering a layout conducive for good separation and privacy. There are no load-bearing walls, so the configuration is very workable if you would want to rearrange the current floor plan. The apartment offers multiple closets, big enough for any wardrobe or extra storage purposes.

This coop offers a tremendous opportunity with great upside, and makes sense for users or investors. The building permits and offers the following: an unlimited subletting policy, no board interview, pied-a-terre, co-purchasing, washer/dryer, parental purchasing, gifting, an on-site super and pets allowed. This is not an HDFC Coop.

640 West 139th Street is conveniently located a few blocks away from Fairway Market and Whole Foods Market. Some of the neighborhoods newest and most exciting eateries, such as The Grange, Hogs Head, Dinosaur BBQ and Home Sweet Harlem are located steps away from your doorstep. The building is located only a few blocks away from CUNY City College of New York along with the newly acquired 17 acre expansion of Columbia University’s Manhattanville campus that promises unprecedented upside to local real estate. The B/C, and 1 trains are all within a two-three block radius and the location of the building permits easy and quick access throughout Manhattan and the outer boroughs with the Henry Hudson PKWY, George Washington Bridge and FDR located close by. The neighborhood offers several parks including Riverbank State Park which runs along the Hudson River west of Hamilton Heights and is comprised of a double sized Olympic Pool, tennis and basketball courts, ice skating rink, running track and playgrounds.

Hamilton Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.  

Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.

Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.

Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children. 

Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
