Property Description for 300 West 135th Street, 12-C

Welcome to your Penthouse oasis conveniently nestled next to Harlem’s verdant Saint Nicolas Park. A unique treasure, this two bedroom, two bath, full service, luxury Condominium boasts an unprecedented 988 square foot sprawling private rooftop terrace, setting the standard for Penthouse living. From the oversized, wall-to-wall, northern facing windows to the stylish spiral staircase, this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the crown jewels of Harlem. The penthouse apartment is ideal for entertaining with its galley kitchen featuring brand new stainless steel appliances and 6-seat dining room which flows seamlessly into an oversized, open layout living room with tons of natural light. The spiral staircase elevates you to the glass greenhouse and your own private terrace. Whether hosting a large group of guests with keyed elevator access or enjoying a relaxing morning by yourself as you gaze over boundless views of St. Nicholas Park, City College campus, Yankee Stadium, and the George Washington Bridge, your terrace will be a respite from the excitement of Harlem living. The master bedroom features a crisp, fully equipped ensuite bathroom and large closets, while the second bedroom provides more than enough space for a Queen bed plus ample furniture. This rare penthouse opportunity is located in Strivers Gardens, one of the premier condominiums in Harlem, home to a diverse and vibrant community. A pristine fitness center, massive common courtyard, 24-hour concierge, zen garden, storage cages, and bike racks put an exclamation mark on this dynamic lifestyle. For those looking for a quick weekend escape, the building also houses a separately run parking garage featuring the convenience of Zipcars. Purchasing in this building also allows you to take advantage of the 421A partial tax abatement, of which there are approximately 11 years left. With the B and C train & three bus lines located on the block itself, plus the 2/3 and A/D express subways moments away, you're never too far from midtown and your other favorite neighborhoods. Not that you need to leave, as Harlem is a bustling mix of cultural traditions and avant-garde creativity. Generations of art, food, and demographic shifts mean that newcomers and life-long residents continue to redefine one of the city’s most iconic culture hubs. Local hotspots include ACP Coffee, The Edge, and Red Rooster, and bike paths connect nearby parks including the Alexander Hamilton Grange run by the National Park Service. The new Whole Foods, Children's Museum, Harlem School of the Arts, Columbia University, and the entire 125th street corridor are just blocks away to help round out what is truly an inspiring and vibrant neighborhood to call home. This is the ideal location to enjoy all the best of Manhattan penthouse living at a fraction of the price per square foot.

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.
