XXXL 1-BEDROOM P-E-N-T-H-O-U-S-E (ISH) | Top Floor. Three Exposures. You Can Actually Afford to Own in Harlem. PHOTOS are ACTUAL and RENDERINGS of what the 25K renovations can be. Proportions that live larger than many two-bedrooms, perched on the top floor of an elevator HDFC building on one of Harlems quintessential brownstone, tree-lined blocks. Is it technically a penthouse? No. Is it PENTHOUSE-ISH? Top floor, three exposures, incredible light, no one living above you well allow it. Lets begin with the star of the show: the MASSIVE living room, wrapped in South, West, and North exposures. Translation? Sunlight, windows, cross-breezes, and actual breathing room. Create a proper living room, dining area, home office, reading nook, cocktail corneror all of the above. You have the space. And speaking of windows: windows are the new black. In a city where natural light has somehow become an amenity, every single room in 5B has a window. Yes, even the bathroom. The king-size bedroom enjoys coveted South and West exposures , while hardwood floors and generously sized closets add to the apartments wonderfully oversized feel. Then theres the windowed kitchen, ready for your imagination. Add an island. Dont add an island. Go sleek and modern. Go colorful and fabulous. Open it up. Keep it classic. Its your kitchendo what you want. Heres where it gets even better: the $425,000 asking price includes a $25,000 renovation credit. Instead of paying a premium for someone elses questionable backsplash, gray floors, or renovation choices, put that money toward creating a home that actually looks like you. *** Please note the unit will be sold AS IS but this is the opportunity to have a brand new apartment post close Monthly maintenance? Just $858. Penthouse-ish space, light, and privacy without the Penthouse-ish price tag. Now, about that rent youre paying At 5% downapproximately $21,250estimated mortgage and maintenance could be around $3,400 per month all-in, depending on financing. In other words, you may be able to OWN for roughly what youre already handing over to your landlord every month. Your landlord will survive. We promise. THE DETAILS: $425,000 asking price $25,000 renovation credit included XXXL one-bedroom with larger-than-average proportions Massive living room South, West & North exposures King-size bedroom with South & West exposures Window in EVERY roomincluding the bathroom Windowed kitchen Hardwood floors Generous closets Top-floor apartment Elevator building Just $858 monthly maintenance Beautiful brownstone, tree-lined Harlem block Approximately 5% down ($21,250) / estimated $3,400 monthly mortgage + maintenance HDFC income and purchaser requirements apply, and Apartment 5B must be your primary residence. Come see 5B, bring your imagination, and make it exactly what you want. If youre going to spend $3,000+ every month anyway, having your own shares sounds a whole lot more fun than getting another lease-renewal email. Why are you still paying rent? Seriously.
