Recently constructed townhouse on one of Central Harlem's beautiful brownstone blocks, this home offers luxurious townhouse living with ALL the conveniences of modern construction. The owner's triplex has floor to ceiling windows, providing light that is uncharacteristically bright for a traditional townhouse, and wood floors throughout. Open Concept Chef's kitchen, newly renovated with granite countertops, marble backsplash, and new stainless steel appliances. Central Air conditioning is installed throughout the house, and can be regulated for each room.

You won't be wanting of more space inside this house: the main unit has four bedrooms, two with ensuite baths, another full bathroom on the top floor, and a powder room on the parlor floor. Each of the three floors has high ceilings and ceiling fans throughout. All the rooms on the top floor have their own skylights that can be electrically opened and closed. There is a separate laundry room, with an industrial-sized dryer that can dry garments on hangers, and even folded sweaters! There is closet space for days. And there is a tremendous amount of outdoor space: the triplex has FIVE outdoor spaces, including three terraces, a back deck, and of course the garden.

There is a separate 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath duplex apartment on the garden level that has its own entrance, heating, air conditioning, and even its own laundry room, offering a great opportunity to generate rental income. And there is an additional 2,121 square feet of buildable space!

This home is very centrally located: it's five minutes to the 2 and 3 trains, close to the A, B, C & D trains, as well as the 4, 5 and 6 trains and Metro North's 125th St. Station. And some of Harlem's best shopping, including Whole Foods, and best restaurants and exciting nightspots are minutes' away.

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.
