Property Description for 389 Manhattan Ave
This elegantly reimagined South Harlem brownstone seamlessly blends historic charm with modern sophistication. Spanning 3,200 square feet, this 18-foot-wide, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom single-family home has been meticulously gut-renovated to offer contemporary luxury while preserving its classic fa ade. Wide-plank white oak floors, sleek staircase lighting, a state-of-the-art electrical system, and individually controlled split AC and heating units enhance every room.
The parlor level features an open-concept living and dining area bathed in natural light from eastern and western exposures. A chef's dream, the eat-in kitchen boasts a nearly 10-foot quartz island, subway tile backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a full suite of GE stainless steel appliances-an inviting space for both daily living and entertaining.
Upstairs, the second-floor primary suite is a serene retreat, fully soundproofed for privacy. It includes a spacious bedroom, an exquisitely illuminated 9-foot pass-through closet, and a spa-like en suite bath with a double vanity, oversized rainfall shower, heated towel rack, and radiant flooring. The third floor hosts two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room with side-by-side LG front-load washer and dryer.
A newly added fourth level offers a versatile bonus space, ideal for work or leisure. Outfitted with a wet bar, wine refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, and ample storage, it's designed for effortless entertaining. Sliding glass doors open onto a private 244-square-foot rooftop terrace-an idyllic spot to unwind while enjoying sunset views.
The garden level, accessible via a private entrance on Manhattan Avenue or the main interior staircase, features a spacious recreation room, a full bath with a curbless shower, and an additional office/den, all with direct access to the backyard. This flexible space can serve as a private sanctuary or an inviting area for gatherings.
Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined block near Morningside Park, the home is moments from the 2, 3, B, and C subway lines, as well as multiple bus routes. Central Park, Marcus Garvey Park, and Columbia University are within easy reach, along with an array of top-tier dining, shopping, and cultural attractions

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.
