Property Description for 240 West 121st Street, TWNH
YOUR TOWNHOUSE DREAM
RENOVATED – BIG – BEAUTIFUL - BRIGHT
On a sweet treelined street – a stone’s throw from, and equidistant to two neighborhood parks -- there sits a handsome, classic, restored townhouse. It is the quintessential uptown house: Its hallmark stoop and brownstone, its big windows, and its gorgeous facade are heartwarming, so easy to love, and so easy to call home.
The scale of this fully re-imagined and reinvented residence is expansive yet manageable – the life this home provides is grand yet soulful. With 4 well-scaled bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a bonus office, a terrace, and a private garden, this sun-splashed sweetheart is a winsome choice indeed.
Up the stoop and into the impressive parlor floor, you come home to a big living room, dining, and an open kitchen. The kitchen is pretty and practical, with Signature Custom cabinetry, and stainless appliances by Wolf (6 burner) and Bosch. On the garden level, there is a guest suite, den, wet bar, a big washer/dryer, and access to the sweet, sunny, private yard. Above the parlor level is the master suite – a bright floor-through with two walk-in-closets, a bonus office, a laundry space, a master bath (with fixtures by Kohler and Toto), and a private, South-facing terrace. The top floor -- crowned by two skylights – offers two sizeable bedrooms with two walk-in closets, a laundry chute, and a guest bath.
Underfoot are walnut floors, and above are high ceilings with recessed lighting and crown moldings. With six fireplaces with sweet mantles, central air, Pella windows, and restored brickwork, this fully sprinkled beauty stands out for all the right reasons.
Perfectly perched on one of South Harlem’s sweetest blocks, this feel-good residence enjoys ideal proximity to every area shopping (Whole Foods!), dining, and cultural destination – not to mention easy access to convenient transportation options.
A fresh take on a classic townhouse awaits you – big, bright and beautiful. Here’s your townhouse dream.

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.
