Property Description for 640 West 139th Street, 53

Great Value!

Rare 3 Bedroom, High Floor Sponsor Unit, No Board Approval, Priced to Sell in Elevator Building. Very Low Maintenance. Please note this is not an HDFC apartment.

Located on Riverside Drive in the highly sought after Hamilton Heights neighborhood, this three bedroom apartment offers an amazing opportunity to buy into a pocket of Manhattan that is appreciating by the day.

Upon entering you are welcomed by high ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring throughout, and a sprawling hallway that opens into each room. The unit consists of three full sized bedrooms that offer a layout conducive for good separation and privacy within the home. The master bedroom comes equipped with double-wide closets that can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and furniture set. The large windowed eat-in chef's kitchen is centrally located within the unit and has space for a dining table.

The living room benefits from northern, eastern and western exposures offering views of the George Washington Bridge and Hudson River. The space benefits from a constant stream of natural light making it airy, open and ideal for entertaining. There are no load-bearing walls north to south within the unit, so reconfiguration or the current floor plan is achievable. The apartment offers multiple closets, big enough for any wardrobe or extra storage purposes. The unit also benefits from a washer dryer hookup as the coop does permit laundry in the unit.

This coop offers a tremendous opportunity with great upside, and makes sense for owners or investors. The building permits and offers the following: an unlimited subletting policy after purchase with no restrictions, no board package, pied-a-terre, co-purchasing, washer/dryer in unit, parental purchasing, gifting, an on-site super and pets allowed. This is not an HDFC Coop.

640 West 139th Street is conveniently located close to every shopping need including restaurants, supermarkets, drugstores, and banks. Some of the neighborhood’s most exciting eateries, such as The Grange, Trufa, Harlem Public, and Home Sweet Harlem are located near your doorstep. It’s an ideal location for students: the building is located only a few blocks away from CUNY City College of New York, along with the newly acquired 17-acre expansion of Columbia University’s Manhattanville campus. Mass transit is readily available: on Broadway the 1 train is two blocks away and there are uptown and downtown buses on the avenue, and it’s not far to reach the A, B, C, and D lines. The location of the building allows for easy and quick access throughout Manhattan and the outer boroughs via the Henry Hudson Parkway, George Washington Bridge, and FDR Drive. The neighborhood offers several parks including St. Nicholas Park and the amazing Riverbank State Park, which runs along the Hudson River west of Hamilton Heights and consists of a double sized Olympic Pool, tennis and basketball courts, ice skating rink, running track, and playgrounds.

Hamilton Heights | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Primarily a residential neighborhood, Hamilton Heights has a mix of brownstones, walk-ups and older apartment buildings, together with more luxurious apartment and condo buildings situated along Riverside Drive. Known for being a working class neighborhood in the past, now there are many artists, teachers and actors making their homes in Hamilton Heights.  

Hamilton Heights has a diverse population that prides itself on being a tight-knit community, one where neighbors know and respect one another, work together on issues that confront the community, support each other in difficult times, and spend time together socializing at block and seasonal parties.

Although there are many types of public transportation available, the area subway stops may require a bit of a walk, so you will need to plan for this time in your commute.

Hamilton Heights has a definite family-oriented vibe, and there are many playgrounds and activities for children. Additionally, you can find child daycare at reasonable prices. Riverbank State Park has many activities and recreational opportunities geared toward children. 

Although there are plentiful places to shop for groceries, everything from the bigger national chains to the neighborhood bodegas and delis, they are starting to show the impact of gentrification in the higher prices they are charging, especially for organic products.
