Property Description for 261 West 132nd Street, PARLOR

Welcome to 261 West 132nd Street. This re-imagined quadruplex home has the perfect blend of original historical details and modern updates. This home offers a plentitude of living space, both indoor and outdoor. Evident throughout this thorough 2017 renovation is high level workmanship making this home as move in ready as they come, with plenty of opportunity to add your style!

The 16' X 51' footprint of the property is impressive the moment you step inside this majestic home. On one of Harlem's storybook tree-lined blocks, the home blends into the serene landscape perfectly, only to be eclipsed by the quality layout and renovation waiting once inside. The main level of the home is open concept and offers soaring ceilings, a plentitude of natural light and incredible flow, perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining and lounging. A convenient powder room is also located on this main floor. Dine al fresco on the oversized balcony or put your green thumb to great use in the flawless garden area measuring 16'X38'!

The quadruplex (yes, 4 floors!) features gorgeous woodwork, original decorative fireplaces, well-placed brick wall exposures, hardwood floors throughout, and a modern chef's kitchen. All 4 bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom. Each bedroom can accommodate king-size beds or two full-size beds and all have ample closet space, large windows and incredible natural light. Appointing rooms for fitness, office, guests or common areas, makes the home as multi-purpose as it is beautiful. The size of the stairwell landings give the home, and its hardwood stairs, a stately architectural detail. The hallway spaces are bright and offer the perfect canvas for your art and photography collections. The washer/dryer is smartly located on the third floor of the unit. Another huge highlight feature of the home is the 4th-floor bonus room that seamlessly connects to a balcony and an expansive, fenced in, roof space ready for your design to entertain outdoors with views of the city around. Pets case by case except as reasonable accommodations for disabilities.

Located on the quintessential tree-lined West 132nd block, amidst a neighborly community spanning generations, the proximity to Harlem's 125th street corridor shopping, restaurants, cafes, Whole Foods Market, and the soon to open Target and Trader Joe's, will make errands and life uptown convenient. The 2/3 and A/D Express, as well as B/C Local, trains are all nearby and trips to LaGuardia Airport are a breeze here. Enjoy picnics, sports, and the large dog run at St. Nicholas Park - only 2 blocks away, the beauty of City College's historic campus nearby, and Harlem staples that include Sylvia's, Red Rooster and Harlem Shake, as well as local favorites that include Harlem Hops, Abyssinia, Sugar Monk, and Honey Well.

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.
