Property Description for 312 West 138th Street

This beautifully renovated two-family townhouse in the heart of Harlem is perfect for buyers seeking space, charm, modern amenities, and substantial rental income. Spread across two thoughtfully designed apartments, a new owner can occupy the lower unit, rent out the upper unit to substantially offset their housing cost, or purchase the property as a straight investment and rent out both units.

The approximately 1900SF lower triplex welcomes you with an open-concept living and dining area bathed in natural light from oversized windows. The kitchen, adorned with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a central island, is a chef's dream. A luxurious full bath and a washer/dryer add convenience, while the spacious rear bedroom offers serene privacy. This unit offers two additional bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, and a lower level rec room as well as direct access to the private yard from the garden and parlor floors.

The approximately 1700SF upper unit features a main-level living space with stunning bay windows, a large kitchen with top-of-the-line finishes, and a rear bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find two en-suite bedrooms with sleek bathrooms and custom closets, and a private rooftop deck offering spectacular views of the city skyline.

Situated a short distance from the B and C trains at the 135th Street Station, this property offers effortless access to all of NYC. Enjoy the green expanse of St. Nicholas Park at the top of the block, ideal for picnics, walks, and outdoor activities. Savor the local dining scene with neighborhood favorites like The Edge Harlem and Reverence, or explore Harlem's rich cultural heritage.

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.
