Property Description for 1809 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd, 5-C

Splendid 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, 1 block from Central Park! Showings by appointment only. Come and experience this category-defying, approximately 1750 sq ft gut-renovated masterpiece with treetop and Central Park views. The product of a lavish renovation by its current owners, Apartment 5C will surprise and delight you at every turn. The open chef’s kitchen features a stunning Miele range hood, GE wine fridge, gas oven and range, microwave/convective oven, Bosch dishwasher, and Frigidaire Professional refrigerator. Pendant lighting shines above the several yards of imported stone kitchen countertop, which is crowned by a sleek glass breakfast bar with customized steel supports. The kitchen flows into the spacious dining and living areas, flanked by a vast expanse of sumptuous exposed brick, all the way to the oversized custom windows, which usher in west-facing views of sky, treetops and Central Park. Charming touches abound, such as the partly exposed ceiling beams, which impart a grotto-like openness to the space. Lighting is recessed with dimmers throughout the apartment, along with hidden lighting to add ambiance to art displays, kitchen and even bathroom cabinets. Both bedrooms are spacious, and the primary ensuite bath has twin sinks on one side and a luxurious separate bathing chamber with a glass-stall shower and deep-soaking tub. Apt 5C has too many other custom touches to mention here, but standout features include: wide oak floors, California closets, oversized (floor-to-ceiling) doors throughout, kitchen and bath tiles and cabinets customized by Swan Tile, Miele washer and dryer, wired in-wall Internet and sound design, and the list goes on. Located directly across the street from Central Park and the fabulous new swimming pool and ice rink and the Harlem Meer Davis Center, 1809 Adam Clayton Powell is a well-run, pet-friendly 36-unit prewar coop with video intercom, elevator, full-time super and private storage for rent. The building is convenient to both the 2/3 and B/C subway lines, and equally well served by a great number of beloved local bars and restaurants such as Melba’s, Archer and Goat, BLVD, Safari, Cantina Taqueria, Vinateria, Alke, Harlem Tavern, Los 3 Charros, Settepani, and seemingly countless others.

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.
