Property Description for 229 West 116th Street, 2-C

OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Experience a blend of classic charm and contemporary luxury in this loft-like one-bedroom home, nestled in a pre-war condominium in South Harlem. As you step inside, you're greeted by an eye-catching exposed brick wall leading to a spacious great room. The room features soaring 10-foot ceilings and south-facing, City-Quiet windows that frame lush treetops, filling the space with an abundance of natural light. This versatile area provides generous space for living and dining, complete with a home office nook and smart AC built-ins that offer additional storage. The open, windowed chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, boasting granite countertops, a subway-tile backsplash, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. Retreat to the serene bedroom located at the quiet rear of the home, which includes a floor-to-ceiling customized closet. The spa-like marble bathroom enhances the sanctuary feel with its Duravit sink, deep Kohler soaking tub, and classic subway-tiled walls. Oak flooring, recessed lighting, and customized closets are consistently found throughout the home, adding to its refined atmosphere. An in-unit washer/dryer setup adds exceptional convenience. Built in 1910, The Casa Loma has been thoughtfully transformed into a 16-unit pet-friendly elevator condominium. Known for the "world's greatest super," the building maintains low common charges while offering impressive amenities such as a storage locker and bicycle storage. However, the true gem is the 4,000 sq ft planted and furnished roof deck. This stunning communal space features a community herb garden and boasts panoramic views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline, Columbia University, and the iconic Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Location is everything, and this prime South Harlem spot is unrivaled. Just a short walk from Central Park, Morningside Park, and Columbia University, and with immediate access to the 2/3 and B/C subway lines, your commute to Midtown is a breeze. The vibrant surroundings include Harlem's famous Restaurant Row, offering a diverse selection of eateries like Lido, Harlem Tavern, and LoLo's Seafood Shack, along with numerous shopping opportunities. This home is not just a place to live—it's a lifestyle waiting to be embraced.

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.
