Description

Welcome home to this sunny and spacious 3 bedroom 1 bath coop + patio in a quaint and charming building in trendy Hamilton Heights, Harlem. Just one flight up, this apartment is bright and airy. The HDFC status of this building is due to expire in 2020 pending board approval, which would make for a substantial increase in resale value.

As you enter through a long hallway you will find two bedrooms each with a window and ample closet space. The hallway leads you to a spacious and renovated open kitchen with chef stove which expands into a light-flooded living/dining area with four large east-facing windows that look out onto the tree lined Amsterdam Avenue and the breathtaking Neo-Gothic architecture of City College (which spans 36 tree-lined acres!) across the street. The master bedroom easily fits a queen size bed and large closets. Both the master and the second bedroom provide access to a darling private outdoor patio space - great for meals alfresco!

Enjoy coming home everyday to this green street with trendy restaurants like FUMO Pizzeria, Double Dutch Coffee, The Grange, Oso, Clove Indian Restaurant all within a block...with Fairway Market just down the street! Centrally located near the 1, B and C subways, as well as the M100 and M101 bus stops, this truly is a prime spot at a great price.

This is an HDFC building with income restrictions, as of 2018 they are $55,987.92 for a household of one or two dependents and $65,319.24 for a household of three or more dependents. This well managed Co-op comes with its own live-in super and also owns two commercials spaces which are set to bring in a nice revenue stream for the building. Now is the perfect time to make this wonderful apartment your home!
