Property Description for 148 West 131st Street, 1

Enjoy exquisite designer interiors and historic charm in this expansive three-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op residence on one of Central Harlem's most beautiful blocks. Spanning 1,500 square feet, this floor-through home was recently renovated by a talented designer and architect to create a serene backdrop for comfortable luxury living and lavish entertaining. Step inside to discover soaring 10-foot-tall ceilings, wide-plank floors, white-washed exposed brick and sunny exposures to the south, east and north. An impressive gallery entry opens to an open-plan great room flanked by oversized windows and elegant built-in cabinetry. The magazine-worthy open kitchen is anchored by a massive waterfall marble island topped with pendant lighting, and the dining area easily accommodates dinner for 12 or more. Custom cabinetry surrounds upscale stainless steel appliances, including a vented gas range, French door refrigerator and dishwasher. Head to the owner's suite to discover king-size proportions, picture-frame moldings and a spectacular dressing area with custom drawers, shelves and hanging rods. Ahead, the marble spa bathroom is finished with lovely tile, double vanity and a frameless glass rain shower with a hand sprayer. Spacious and sunny secondary bedrooms boast floor-to-ceiling closet space and easy access to the well-appointed full guest bathroom. An in-unit LG washer-dryer and additional closet space complete this impeccable Harlem haven. Located within the Central Harlem Historic District, 148 West 131st Street anchors a row of five stately Renaissance Revival brownstones built in 1896. The well-run boutique cooperative allows pets and offers extremely low maintenance. On this stunning tree-lined block, you're surrounded by gorgeous townhouses with a wealth of wonderful parks, including St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park and Morningside Park. Even the East River Esplanade and the Hudson's Riverside Park are less than a mile away. The renowned Harlem dining and nightlife scene blankets the nearby blocks, and the great amenities of 125th Street, including Whole Foods, H&M, Marshalls, gyms and the Apollo are at your disposal. Head to the Eastside, Westside or Downtown with ease, thanks to 2/3, 4/5/6, A/C and B/D trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes all within easy reach.

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.
