Property Description for 140 West 132nd Street

Own a piece of Central Harlem for close to the cost of renting. 140 West 132nd Street is a free-market, three-unit townhouse on one of Harlem's most coveted landmarked blocks, set up so you can live in the sun-filled owner's duplex while two rental units help carry the mortgage. All three units are free-market with no rent-stabilization risk, giving investors and end-users rare flexibility: occupy one unit and rent the rest, hold all three for income, or grow into the whole house over time. The Owner's Duplex: Garden & Parlor (3 BR/2 BA).Three generous bedrooms (room for king- and queen-sized beds), two full baths, refinished hardwood floors, an open kitchen with stainless appliances, in-unit laundry, and direct access to a private rear yard and basement. A true owner's residence with outdoor space, a rarity at this price point in Harlem. Unit #2: One Bedroom. A spacious bedroom with abundant closet space and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. Updated appliances. Unit #3: One-Bedroom. Fully renovated with refinished hardwood floors and a bright, modern layout. Built-In Upside & Flexibility: In-place rents sit below market, leaving clear room to grow income as units turn. Longer term, the property's footprint supports a recombination into a grand single-family townhouse, a sought-after move on Harlem's landmarked blocks, or other conversions (subject to applicable Landmarks and DOB approvals). Its location within a protected historic district of roughly 164 row houses is itself a long-term floor on value: this block can't be overbuilt. Property Highlights: - New Andersen double-pane windows throughout (dramatically reduced outside noise) - Units #1 and #3 renovated within the last 3 years; appliances updated in Unit #2 - Brand new sump pump and 100-gallon water tank - Annual boiler service and Maintenance - Roof re-tarred in 2010, repainted recently, on a regular 7-year Maintenance cycle - Video intercom in all units and security cameras throughout - Upside in rental income. - Landmarked Property The location of this building is in prime Harlem, with immediate access to retail, community, and the neighborhood's history. In the area, you'll have access to many cafes, restaurants, and transportation, including the 2/3 subway lines, as well as Harlem's vibrant culinary scene. Enjoy destinations like Red Rooster, Renaissance Harlem, Ponty Bistro, Maison Harlem, and Lido, each reflecting the spirit of Harlem's creative renaissance. Ask about the 3-2-1 rate buydown and flexible financing that can bring year-one ownership costs in line with neighborhood rents.

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.
