Description

It is a FIND. This two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is located in a prewar, walk-up co-op building on the 4th floor, built in 1920, on a residential street in Central Harlem. It has southern exposure with street views. The block is bustling with trucks with building supplies, as well as those with signage that says "Construction, Home Renovations and Removal". PROGRESS IS ON THE RISE! It is convenient to the park, transportation (Express trains on 145th and Lenox, #3, at 145th and the A, B, C &D at 145th Street and the M101 and M102 buses), restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The building has a new intercom system, a remote control door lock, a part-time super, and community storage. St Charles Borromeo Elementary School is a private school (District 5) that is one city block west of the building. There are private and public schools and academies in District 5, such as Bread & Roses Integrated Arts High School, Choir Academy of Harlem, Frederick Douglas Academy, I.S. 195 Roberto Clement School, I.S. 286 Renaissance Military & Leadership Academy, Mount Hall H.S., Powell Middle School for Law and Social Justice, etc. Upon opening the door to the entry foyer, you experience the brightness and spaciousness of this residence. The original prewar details are throughout the apartment. There are windows in each room, hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, archways and French doors that separate the living room from the gracious dining room. A hallway leads to the windowed, sunny kitchen. The common area is separate from the living area. The large primary bedroom accommodates a double bed, two night tables, a double dresser, a window, and floor-to-ceiling closets. The gracious second bedroom has a window and a closet. At the end of the hall is a windowed bathroom with the original bathtub and subway tiles. You have the "canvas" to give this lovely apartment a little TLC and make it your own. Very important, to the new owner of apartment #2D, the assessment was fully paid by the seller. This coop allows pets also. There is a part-time super who lives in the building next door. The building is in Community District 110, City Council District 9, and Police Precinct 32. There is a Flip Tax for the seller. It's 3% when the owner lived in the building for 5 years or less, and 2% for more than 5 years of occupancy.
