Property Description for 61 Lenox Ave, 5-D

Welcome home to this rarely-available corner residence located a stone's throw from Central Park. Occupying the top floor of Parc Vues, a discreet prewar condominium, this 2 Bedroom home is awash with natural sunlight throughout the day from both eastern and southern exposures.

Upon entry, guests are greeted by an expansive open-concept entertaining space almost 20 feet wide, enhanced by four oversized windows, hardwood floors throughout, and 9'6'' ceilings. On on side, a stately gas fireplace takes center stage framed by exquisite millwork. A windowed kitchen with breakfast bar anchors the opposite end of the room featuring brand new quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (installation in-progress), and ample storage throughout.

A long, winding hallway separates public from private space punctuated by a pristine guest bathroom, closet storage, and a hidden vented washer/dryer.

In the eastern wing, two generously-sized bedrooms await. A guest room occupies the corner exposure featuring three large windows and unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline set as a backdrop to Central Park. The primary bedroom commands an eastern exposure, taking advantage of morning sunlight and treetop views over Lenox Avenue. A spacious en suite bath and double closets complete this peaceful sactuary and rounds out a truly spectacular find in South Harlem.

Parc Vues, originally built in 1900, was converted to condominiums in 2006. With only 15 residences and an unostentatious entrance on West 113th street, this boutique condo promotes an intimate, tranquil environment for its residents. Take advantage of the remainder of a J51 tax abatement and ultra-low common charges, storage, and bike room. Convenience is key, as you are located minutes to the 2/3 and B/C subways, mere blocks to the daily conveniences that line 116th street, restaurant row, and are free to enjoy year round offerings at both Central Park and Morningside Park whenever the mood strikes.

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.
