Many upgrades have been made to this special home inside and out, from a new roof and flashing to waterproofing, a newly gut renovated garden apartment bathroom. Other highlights are new Citi Quiet windows in front-facing bedrooms, a new drain, and grading in front to prevent water backup, wired and wireless network installed throughout the home (up to 10 gigs capable), a modernized 2nd-floor bath with pocket door, a new door for outdoor access, and a washer-dryer added to the garden apartment. Natural light-filled interiors of the south-facing triplex are elegant and inviting, marked by high ceilings, oversized windows, stunning hardwood floors, and refined details throughout. The main level affords a perfect layout for entertaining with a spacious living room, a formal dining room that leads out to the large private garden, and a lovely cook’s kitchen.

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.
