Property Description for 128 West 138th Street, 6-A

This top floor, corner one bedroom home in a well-managed and well-maintained HDFC coop has bright South and North views. As you walk into the apartment you'll first come to the larger than expected renovated windowed-kitchen facing east. The long hallway leading to the rest of this beautiful home is the perfect place to display artwork, put on or take off shoes or do last looks before heading outdoors.

The bedroom with it's south facing window -perfect for sleeping in-- is large enough to fit a king size bed with space for additional furniture. The two entry doors into the bedroom provide comfortable access to the front of the apartment where the kitchen is or the rear of the apartment where you'll find the living room and bathroom.

The living room has two windows side-by-side that face North. Original wall molding reminds you of the pre-war charm of this apartment. The bathroom with its South facing window is bright and inviting and has new fixtures installed including the pedestal sink but still has the whimsy of a cast iron tub.

The apartment has hardwood floors thru out, 4 tall closets and a flexible layout that makes this home a sure bet! Many in this line have taken down the bedroom wall closest to the kitchen to create a large great room, putting the bedroom where the living room is currently. Whichever layout you choose you can be sure that you will be living in your own personal piece of heaven.

This elevator building in the heart of Harlem has a courtyard, storage units for rent and an attentive live-in super. Restaurants and services in the area abound!

Please note that this is an income restricted building and must be your primary residence. Income breakdown based on family size follows: 1- $72,600, 2 - $82,920, 3 - $93,240, 4 - $103,560. Sorry, no pets allowed.

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.
