Property Description for 254 West 132nd Street, TH-2

This furnished rental is the perfect home for you, right in the middle of a beautiful neighborhood on a serene brownstone block. When you enter the parlor floor of this townhome, you will be taken aback by the high ceilings and the beauty of the restored architectural details throughout this stately townhome. The sun beams brightly through the floor-to-ceiling southern windows, and the large pocket doors are wonderful architectural treasures. The parlor floor, which has the living room, dining room and powder room, flows straight through to the state of the art kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, a large island with breakfast bar, and back deck for dining. Off the back deck is the staircase leading down to this home's lush and charming private garden, replete with outdoor furniture and grill. This spacious triplex home boasts five gracious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a powder room, and lounging areas throughout. Each of the upper floors has two bedrooms and a full bathroom, with the top floor also housing the home's home office or 5th bedroom. The middle floor contains a huge dressing area and washer/dryer. The space lends itself perfectly to privacy for a work-from-home lifestyle or a warmly-appointed place to hang your hat at the end of a busy day in the city. The decorative fireplaces elegantly center many of the rooms. Central Harlem is considered the new uptown Village. People from all walks of life have made Central Harlem their homestead; it's the perfect place to live and visit. Central Harlem has become the melting pot of multiculturalism. You are a stone's throw away from Blues, Jazz, and Gospel music. Whole Foods is moments away, as are the famed Apollo Theatre, and iconic restaurants like Sylvia's and the Red Rooster. The nearby transportation is great, including the A, B, C, and D subway lines, as well as M2 and M3 bus lines. LEASE TERM IS FLEXIBLE. CAN BE SHORT TERM (3 MONTHS) OR UP TO 18 MONTHS. ***

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.
