From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

This is the South Harlem corner unit you've been waiting for-a true pre-war vibe that trades cookie-cutter finishes for actual soul. Perched on the second floor of a classic walkup, this place hits that perfect sweet spot: it's a quiet sanctuary that puts you right in the thick of the city's best energy. We're talking nine-foot ceilings and authentic exposed brick throughout the apt. The original moldings and chair rails aren't just details; they're the backbone of a space that feels storied and solid. The windowed kitchen is a total standout, decked out with slate tile floors and plenty of room to actually move around. When you're ready to decompress, the bathroom features a deep clawfoot soaking tub that's pure old-school New York. Plus, you get the ultimate city luxury: an in-unit washer and dryer tucked away in one of the two big closets. Step outside and you're instantly plugged into the neighborhood. You've got the legendary vibes of Restaurant Row, iconic jazz clubs, and local espresso bars right there. When you need a break from the pavement, Central Park and Morningside Park are just blocks away. With three major subway lines, the M60 Select Bus Service to LGA and Metro North, and Whole Foods and Trader Joes blocks away, the logistics are as easy as the lifestyle. It's authentic, it's unique, and it's exactly where you want to be. Please note: This is an HDFC Coop with a maximum income cap for all buyers of $205K/year Sorry, no pets allowed.
