Property Description for 640 West 139th Street, 8

Oversized, Meticulously Gut Renovated 3 Bedroom Sponsor Unit Overlooking Riverside Park. No Board Approval Required, Low Maintenance.

Come home to this oversized 3BR apartment at 640 W. 139th Street, aka 618 Riverside Drive. Located on Riverside Drive facing west, this unit offers scale, functionality and protected views of Riverbank State Park. No detail was spared during this complete and meticulous gut renovation with high end condo finishes. This beautiful and spacious apartment seamlessly merges historic prewar detail with stylish and modern design, giving the home a classic downtown loft feel.

Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a foyer/mudroom coupled with 10 foot ceilings and recessed lighting throughout. Down a long hallway flanked by walls of exposed brick, you have three bedrooms with an office that offers a layout conducive for good separation and privacy within the home. The master bedroom comes equipped with double-wide closets that can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and furniture set. As you traverse the hall, to the left you have a flexible layout which is currently comprised of a full bathroom, home office, and two additional full-size bedrooms. NOTE: There are no load-bearing walls from north to south in the unit, so possible reconfiguration of the space is fully achievable and the office can seamlessly be converted into a second bathroom.

At the end of the hallway, you are greeted by a sprawling 35 x 13'7” loft-like living/dining area that faces west onto Riverside Park. Off the living room you will find an open chef’s kitchen fully equipped with new stainless steel appliances. The living room benefits from southern and western exposure offering a constant stream of natural light making the space bright, airy, open and perfect for entertaining.

640 West 139th offers a tremendous opportunity with great upside and makes sense for users or investors. The building permits and offers the following: No Board approval, an unlimited subletting policy, pied-a-terre, co-purchasing, parental purchasing, gifting, an on-site super and pets allowed. This is not an HDFC Coop.

The building is conveniently located close to every shopping need including restaurants, supermarkets, drugstores, and banks. Some of the neighborhood’s most exciting eateries, such as The Grange, Trufa, Harlem Public, and Home Sweet Harlem, are located near your doorstep. It’s an ideal location for academics: the building is located only a few blocks away from CUNY City College of New York and the recent 17-acre expansion of Columbia University's Manhattanville campus. Mass transit is readily available: on Broadway the 1 train is two blocks away and just 3 quick stops to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. There are uptown and downtown buses on Broadway, and it’s not far to reach the A, B, C, and D lines. The location of the building allows for easy and quick access throughout Manhattan and the outer boroughs via the Henry Hudson Parkway, George Washington Bridge, and FDR Drive. The neighborhood offers several parks including St. Nicholas Park and the amazing Riverbank State Park, which runs along the Hudson River west of Hamilton Heights and is comprised of a double sized Olympic Pool, tennis and basketball courts, ice skating rink, running track, and playgrounds.

Hamilton Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.  

Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.

Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.

Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children. 

Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
