Property Description for 40 West 116th Street, A-916

Renovated two-bedroom featuring a smart home system, open city and Central Park views, southern exposure, and taxes of only $15 per month through 2034. Entering Unit A916 at 40 West 116th Street, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer with a spacious coat closet on the left, setting the tone for a home that blends style and functionality. The semi-open kitchen is beautifully renovated, with sleek cabinetry, high-end built-in appliances, and modern lighting. Its spacious layout comfortably accommodates two, making cooking and entertaining effortless while staying connected with guests. Flowing naturally from the kitchen, the living room is bathed in sunlight and showcases unobstructed southern views of Central Park and the city skyline. A charming banquette nook creates an intimate spot for breakfasts or cozy dinners, while the main living area easily accommodates an L-shaped sofa, media setup, and additional seating. The primary bedroom, tucked to the left, is generously proportioned to host a king-size bed and all essential furnishings. Its built-out custom walk-in closet provides abundant storage, and the primary bathroom is conveniently located nearby yet accessible to guests. Across the apartment, the second bedroom offers flexibility as a queen-sized bedroom, home office, or nursery. Thoughtfully separated from the primary suite, it ensures privacy and tranquility. Recent renovations include floors, doors, lighting, soundproofing, and kitchen appliances, complemented by motorized blackout and sheer shades, built-in Sonos speakers, and dedicated HVAC controls in every room. 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling pocket doors enhance the sense of space, light, and luxury throughout. This Gold LEED-Certified condominium offers washer and dryer access on the same floor, 24-hour doorman and concierge, two landscaped roof decks, a fitness center overlooking a serene courtyard, complimentary Wi-Fi, Zipcar access, a library, music and meeting rooms, a newly renovated children’s playroom, and parking (subject to availability), creating a seamless combination of convenience, lifestyle, and community. With the 421-A tax abatement until 2034 and an ideal location near subway lines (2/3, B/C), Marcus Garvey Park, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s—plus Downtown reachable in under 30 minutes—The Kalahari delivers space, elegance, and full-service Manhattan living.

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.
