Property Description for 231 West 148th Street, 4-G

This is a spacious and unique one bedroom, one bathroom duplex located in The Washington, a well-maintained pet-friendly HDFC co-op on a beautiful tree-lined street in Central Harlem. The unit feels more like a home than an apartment. There's a staircase from the main floor, where you'll find the kitchen and living room, to the second floor, where you'll find the bedroom and bathroom. The living room has big windows and is spacious with room for a desk and a dining table. The separate kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, and great counter and cabinet space. Up the stairs on the second floor is the oversized bedroom, which can fit a king-sized bed and other furniture, and the bathroom. There are three large closets in the apartment plus a great nook by the staircase for additional storage space. The Washington has wheelchair access, an elevator, central laundry rooms, kid's playroom, fitness room, bicycle room, community room, video surveillance, storage, and a live-in super. There is a barbecue area in the community garden right next door. Garage parking is available across the street. Convenient to the 3 train at 148th Street, the A/B/C/D trains at 145th Street, and the BX19 bus. Also convenient to Jackie Robinson Park, grocery stores, restaurants, and other shopping. Please note that there is a gross income cap of $266,750 for the household. Maintenance includes taxes, hot water, and heat. Gifting and guarantors are allowed with proper documentation. After 2 years residency, the board may approve subletting for 2 out of 4 years. Bank financing is available. There is no flip tax. *The first two pictures are virtually staged to show the living room and bedroom with furniture and different paint colors.

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.
