Property Description for 29 West 138th Street, 1-A

Unit NOT subject to HDFC restrictions! Welcome to Unit 1A at Beacon Towers, your private oasis, complete with an enormous outdoor space, and modern conveniences, all soon to be yours!

Unit 1A is a 1BR Duplex with approx. 988 interior square feet and a huge 600 square feet private terrace. The lower level has conveniently been converted into a 2nd bedroom and recreational/office area, making full use of the space.

Oak floors run throughout the apartment, leading you from a large bedroom at one end, to the open concept living space at the opposite, connecting you directly to the outdoor terrace, making this the perfect apartment to enjoy indoor and outdoor living and entertaining.

Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a full sized dishwasher, the kitchen features a large island with granite countertops and custom Italian cabinetry.

Located directly in the apartment, a stackable, vented, highly efficient LG washer and dryer make laundry a breeze, conveniently tucked away in its own large walk in closet.

Beacon Towers is a doorman attended building, with a package room, on site fitness facilities, and a massive shared courtyard. Additional bike storage and storage lockers are available for rent within the building. A parking garage, handled by a 3rd party, is attached and accessible directly through the building.

While Beacon Towers is an HDFC Co-Op, Unit 1A, in particular, is NOT subject to any income or resale restrictions, making it a highly coveted unit within the building, granting more flexibility to purchase like a traditional co-op, with a financing allowance of up to 90%.

Beacon Towers benefits from a 421-A Tax Abatement, running through fiscal year 2030/31. Shareholders may sublet 3 out of every 5 years (minimum ownership of 2 years required before renting), subject to board approval. Heat, hot water, and cooking gas are included in the maintenance. Pet friendly building.

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.
