Property Description for 161 West 133rd Street, 1-D

West Village in Harlem Condo Dream w/ garden Views The duplex condo is located right across from the legendary jazz club “Bill’s Place” where Billy Holliday was discovered at age 17. Known as "Swing Street", the street is a quiet stretch of brownstones and tenement-style apartment houses, the kind of block that typifies this section of Central Harlem. Step into this Garden facing sanctuary, you’ll find yourself surrounded by old time charm with contemporary minimalism touches. Relax in the deep soaking bathtub, sitting by the fireplace, wake up in the bright sunlight…Most NYC’s apartments are facing brick walls (if not other people’s windows). But the 5 windows in the apartment are facing a beautiful community garden and a serene private backyard which you have direct access to. Downstairs has its own door through the building’s stairs while you have direct access from upstairs as an option. It can be used as an individual apartment. That makes this condo a dream investment! Downstairs room quietly sits next to a peaceful backyard. A little zen garden out of your window creates a meditative space. In wall unique arch shelves, a bistro table, a queen size bed and a full bathroom with potential of adding W&D. Not ready for the country but want a bit of peace, this is the condo for you. This duplex condo looks right into the beautiful and Green community garden. Extremely low monthlies and two levels make this condo a unique and wonderful investment or home for you in 2024. There is a full bathroom on the main level and a half bath on the lower level. This apartment is move-in ready with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The two levels in the apartment allow you to have separate living and sleeping areas.

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.
