Property Description for 258 West 117th Street, 22-W

SECOND FLOOR. FIRST-CLASS POTENTIAL. **258 West 119th Street, Apt. 22W** Looking for a project with good bones, great financing, and just one flight of stairs between you and home? Meet Apartment 22W. Located on the **second floor of a charming pre-war non-elevator building** (translation: only one flight up), this spacious one-bedroom is waiting for its glow-up. Let's be honest. She's not ready for the cover of Architectural Digest... yet. She could use some makeup and maybe even a little **BBL (Better Bathroom Love)**. But underneath it all is a generously sized apartment with the kind of layout New Yorkers love and the opportunity to create exactly what you want. ### Why You'll Love It: * **Spacious one-bedroom layout** * **Bedroom fits a queen and her royal suite** * **Floor-to-ceiling closets** because storage should never be the villain in your story * **Large eat-in kitchen** ready for your Pinterest board, contractor, or both * **Western and southern exposures** * Quiet **interior-facing views** for those who prefer birds over bus horns * **Washer/dryer permitted** (because laundromats are a character-building experience nobody asked for) * Excellent financing options with **as little as 5% down** * Low-floor convenience without sacrificing pre-war charm ### A Few Things To Know: * The photos are real. No filters. No staging tricks. What you see is what you get. * This apartment needs some updating, but the potential is obvious. * Located in a **non-elevator building** * **Pets are not permitted**, unless they arrive with paperwork and happen to be emotional support or service animals. * Board approval required. If you've been waiting for an affordable Manhattan apartment where you can add your own style, build equity, and create something special, Apartment 22W may be your perfect match. **Bring your vision. Bring your contractor. Bring your measuring tape.** We'll provide the opportunity.

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.
