Property Description for 261 West 132nd Street, PARLOR
Elegant Harlem Quadruplex with Private Outdoor Spaces
Welcome to 261 West 132nd Street - a reimagined quadruplex rental that beautifully blends historic charm with modern comfort.
Thoughtfully renovated in 2017, this expansive residence spans four floors and offers generous indoor and outdoor living, wrapped in timeless architectural detail. With quality craftsmanship throughout, the home is truly move-in ready and offers flexible spaces to suit a variety of lifestyles.
Set on a 16" x 51" footprint, the home makes a statement the moment you walk through the door. Located on one of Harlem's most picturesque tree-lined blocks, it delivers the tranquility of a residential street alongside the space and sophistication of a thoroughly updated home.
The main level is open and airy, with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and a seamless layout that flows out to an oversized balcony-ideal for entertaining or unwinding. A convenient powder room is also located on this level. Down below, the 16" x 38" garden is your private escape-perfect for relaxing, planting, or enjoying a little fresh air.
Across four levels, the home showcases original decorative fireplaces, exposed brick, warm hardwood floors, and elegant woodwork. The modern chef's kitchen offers both style and function. All four bedrooms feature ensuite baths, generous closet space, and can easily accommodate king-sized or double beds. Whether you're working from home, hosting guests, or needing a space to unwind or work out, this layout adapts with ease.
Additional features include a washer/dryer on the third floor, graceful stairway landings ideal for showcasing art or photography, and a top-floor bonus room that leads to a private balcony and fenced-in rooftop-ready for lounging, dining, or entertaining with city views.
Pets considered on a case-by-case basis, except as required for reasonable accommodations.
Located in the heart of Harlem's vibrant and community-rich landscape, you're just blocks from the 125th Street corridor with Whole Foods, the newly opened Target, Sephora and Trader Joe's, and an array of beloved restaurants like Sylvia's, Red Rooster, and Harlem Shake. Neighborhood favorites such as Harlem Hops, Abyssinia, Sugar Monk, and Honey Well are all nearby.
Transit options abound with the 2/3, A/D express, and B/C local trains close by, and LaGuardia Airport just a quick trip away. Enjoy weekend strolls or playtime at nearby St. Nicholas Park or take in the architectural beauty of the City College campus just a few blocks north.

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.
