View Listing video here: https://youtu.be/PXMKBjD_2ZwLocated on West 121st Street between Adam Clayton Blvd and Frederick Douglass Blvd, this impeccably renovated two-unit brownstone is an ideal blend of old world charm and modern amenity. The upper owner's triplex includes four bedrooms plus three and a half baths and has been thoughtfully renovated to include the conveniences of a contemporary home. These include wired speakers throughout and home automation capabilities acting in concert with the grace of lovingly restored Pre-War elements. The Parlor level of the home has high ceilings and is bright and airy from large windows facing North and South. The home is outfitted with new hardwood floors throughout, plus five restored original fireplace mantles adorned with decorative tiles, and a fabulous original mahogany carved mirror at the entrance. The completely new open kitchen with its large island is well equipped with a Sub Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, and Blomberg microwave and dishwasher. The second floor of the house features high ceilings and two large bedrooms both featuring large en-suite bathrooms, ample closet space and a South facing terrace. A separate laundry room is also located on this level. On the top floor is an incredible floor-through Master Bedroom suite with soaring ceilings, a separate room suitable for home office or bedroom and stunning master bath that features a double wide steam shower, soaking tub and gleaming tiling throughout fantastically lit by an upper skylight. An enormous walk-in closet, restored fireplace mantles, and a private balcony also complement this level. Situated above the Master suite is a private roof deck with additional storage, high quality decking, outdoor lighting and water outlets. The downstairs garden duplex is itself an impressive home, with two bedrooms and three full baths including access to the private backyard from both levels. With its separate street entrance it features exposed brick walls throughout, new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, separate laundry room, and hardwood floors. A light and open stairway leads to the cellar/recreation room which features Terrazzo floors, exposed stone walls and a wine cellar. This unit can easily be used as a rental, or used as a guest apartment. Located approximately 5 blocks from either the 2/3 or A/C&B/D trains on 125th, this home represents a rare opportunity to own a lovingly renovated piece of the burgeoning uptown Renaissance.

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.
