Description

New to the market: a rare, full-floor convertible 3-bedroom Harlem brownstone coop residence in the Central Harlem Historic District, perfectly positioned on the parlor level of 152 West 131st Street. This historic Victorian-era home offers original detail, two decorative fireplaces, four exposures, and a gracious layout ideal for both everyday living and elegant entertaining in one of New York City's most storied neighborhoods.

Enter a large front entertaining salon facing a quaint, tree-lined brownstone block, where a showpiece fireplace with decorative mantel anchors the room. In addition, door and window moldings, classic window shutters, and hardwood floors create a warm, authentic pre-war ambiance buyers seek in Harlem brownstones. The windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous cabinet storage, and a smart, functional layout for cooking and hosting.

The primary bedroom enjoys bright southern light, another fireplace, decorative moldings, and a large walk-in closet, plus an adjacent windowed den that can flex as a home office or additional sleeping room. An oversized secondary bedroom offers high ceilings and excellent closet space, providing comfortable proportions. The windowed main bath includes dual sinks, and the home is further enhanced by an additional powder room and separate shower for added convenience.

152 West 131st Street is part of a charming two-building, self-managed brownstone coop set within the beautifully preserved Central Harlem Historic District on a quiet tree-lined street with a classic stoop entry. This intimate, historic cooperative is one of the neighborhood's early coops , built in 1896, and offers the character of a Harlem brownstone with the community feel of a boutique building.

Central Harlem offers an eclectic blend of old and new, with beloved neighborhood institutions alongside exciting new openings. Nearby Whole Foods and Trader Joe's make daily errands easy, while you're moments from Marcus Garvey Park, St. Nicholas Park, Morningside Park, and the Harlem River bikeway for green space, recreation, and dog walks. Historic landmarks like Hamilton Grange, the Harlem Walk of Fame, and Strivers Row are close by, along with iconic dining, music, and culture at Red Rooster, Sylvia's, Apollo, and the National Jazz Museum. With convenient access to multiple subway and bus lines, this parlor-level brownstone coop places you at the heart of Harlem's rich history and vibrant future, and is an exceptional opportunity for its new owners.
