Property Description for 118 West 136th Street

118 West 136th sits along one of Harlem's prettiest tree-lined streets with rows of townhouses designed by Vertner Woodson Tandy, the first registered African American architect in New York and famed designer of Madame C.J. Walker's mansion, Villa Lewaro, in Irvington, New York.

Currently structured as a three-family townhouse on a 100' deep lot, 118 West 136th Street offers over 3,500 SF of interior space across an owner's triplex on the parlor floor, ground floor and sub-basement level, as well two one-bedroom units on the upper two floors. The 2,100+ SF owner's triplex has two large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, as well as a powder room, laundry room, flexible office spaces and direct access to a lush, 711 SF south-facing private garden.

Perfect as a live-in investment, conversion, or full investment property with all three free market units. The property has been meticulously maintained by a dedicated property manager and each unit has hard wood floors, updated kitchens and baths, and their owner washer and dryer. The top floor unit is especially bright with two skylights and rooftop access.

One block from the 2/3 Express train, and only a couple more from the A, C and B trains at St. Nicholas Park, 118 West 136th Street is ideally situated in historical and vibrant Central Harlem where you can get your morning coffee or tea at nearby Proof Rosters or end the day with a special dinner at Yatenga French Bistro & Bar.

Public records show a residential FAR permitting over 2,500 more building square feet for the lot, which upon architect and attorney confirmation, could mean even more opportunity with this wonderful property.

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.
