Property Description for 2231 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd, PH-16

Penthouse Dream

Perched on the top floor, this corner penthouse with 386 sq foot private terrace brings together light, space, and thoughtful design in a way that feels both elevated and effortless.

Apartment PH16 is a true two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with north and west exposures, offering open skies, all-day natural light, and rare privacy with only three residences on the wing. Renovated in 2021 and meticulously maintained by its sole owner, it is completely move-in ready.

The kitchen is built for both daily living and entertaining, featuring Viking appliances, a paneled Thermador refrigerator with ice maker, quartz countertops, a custom backsplash, and a large island with storage on both sides and bar seating. Modern pendant lighting completes the space.

The living room is open and refined, highlighted by over nine-foot ceilings, warm hardwood floors, custom sconce lighting, and a built-in television niche.
Both bedrooms are well separated for privacy and flexibility, complemented by custom closet systems and a deep hallway closet for added storage.
Comfort is seamless with central air and heat, a two-zone climate system, and a full-size Electrolux vented washer and dryer.

The oversized corner terrace truly sets this home apart, complete with lighting, electricity, landscaped planters, and green roof tiles. With outdoor dining and lounge furniture already in place, it serves as a turnkey extension of the living space.

The Aurum itself is a full-service building boasting a modern, crisp lobby, two large elevators, impressive common areas, and thoughtfully designed hallways. Your amenity package includes a gorgeous penthouse-level gym, community room, roof deck with outdoor seating and built-in gas grills, plus convenient bike storage. Built in 2016, the building offers a 25 year tax abatement offering savings for years to come!

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.
