Description

Rare 3 Bedroom Sponsor Unit Priced to Sell in Elevator Building. No Board Approval Required.

Located on one of the most charming streets in the dynamic Hamilton Heights neighborhood, this three bedroom apartment offers an amazing opportunity to buy into an appreciating area. Come home to a tree-lined street on Riverside Drive surrounded by beautiful looming prewar facades and fresh river breezes.

This completely gut renovated sponsor unit has been meticulously renovated and restored. Upon entering you are welcomed by soaring ceilings and a brand new windowed eat-in chefs kitchen equipped with a stainless steel cooking range, stainless steel refrigerator, and convection microwave. The first two bedrooms are on either side of the central hall, providing separation and privacy. At the other end of the long hall you reach the living room and master bedroom, which face south and are bathed in natural light most of the day. The fully tiled bathroom is also newly gut renovated. There are no load-bearing walls, so the configuration is very flexible for customizing the current floor plan.

This coop offers a tremendous opportunity with great upside and is a great fit for either residents or investors. The building permits and offers the following: an unlimited subletting policy, no board approval needed, pied-a-terre, co-purchasing, parental purchasing, gifting, in-building laundry, an on-site super and pets allowed. THIS IS NOT AN HDFC COOP.

640 West 139th Street is conveniently located close to every shopping need including restaurants, supermarkets, drugstores, and banks. Some of the neighborhood's most exciting eateries, such as The Grange, Trufa, Harlem Public, and Home Sweet Harlem are located near your doorstep. It's an ideal location for students: the building is located only a few blocks away from CUNY City College of New York, along with the newly acquired 17-acre expansion of Columbia University's Manhattanville campus. Mass transit is readily available: on Broadway the 1 train is two blocks away and there are uptown and downtown buses on the avenue, and it's not far to reach the A, B, C, and D lines. The location of the building allows for easy and quick access throughout Manhattan and the outer boroughs via the Henry Hudson Parkway, George Washington Bridge, and FDR Drive. The neighborhood offers several parks including St. Nicholas Park and the amazing Riverbank State Park, which runs along the Hudson River west of Hamilton Heights and is comprised of a double sized Olympic Pool, tennis and basketball courts, ice skating rink, running track, and playgrounds.
