West-Facing 2BR Overlooking Treetops Toward Columbia, Tax-Abated Through 2037 988 SF - $1,203/mo maintenance - Boutique 2012 co-op on Madison Avenue Sun-filled, quiet, and thoughtfully designed, this west-facing two-bedroom offers exceptional space, light, and value in a boutique 2012 co-op along the Madison Avenue corridor in South Harlem. Spanning approximately 988 square feet, the home features a wall of triple-pane windows with open treetop views stretching toward Columbia University s Morningside campus. Enjoy radiant afternoon light, beautiful sunsets, and a remarkably peaceful interior thanks to superior soundproofing. With a 421a tax abatement in place through 2037, the monthly maintenance of just $1,203 remains notably low, often comparable to or below that of a one-bedroom further downtown. This is a true two-bedroom layout, not a conversion. The primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed, while the second bedroom fits a queen plus additional space for a desk or nursery. Both bedrooms, along with the living area, share the same bright western exposure. Additional highlights include hardwood oak floors, thru-wall air conditioning in every room, and a dedicated laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer and extra storage. A gracious entry foyer with an oversized closet adds to the home s functionality. The apartment was customized by its original architect-owner, with elevated finishes throughout. The open kitchen is outfitted with quartz countertops, a glass tile backsplash, maple cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher. The spa-like bathroom features a Toto Washlet, Grohe fixtures, and a rainfall showerhead. Designer lighting, soft-touch switches, custom blackout shades, and tasteful wall coverings complete the home. The well-maintained, financially sound building offers just 27 residences across eight stories, creating a sense of privacy with only three to four homes per floor. Amenities include a virtual doorman with video intercom, package room, elevator, shared second-floor terrace, bike storage, and private storage available for a fee. Ideally situated near the best of South Harlem, the building is moments from Marcus Garvey Park and within a short walk to Central Park, Whole Foods, Trader Joe s, and the vibrant dining and cultural scene along Lenox and Frederick Douglass Boulevards. Nearby highlights include the Apollo Theater and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Convenient transportation options include the 6 train at 116th Street, the 2/3 trains at Lenox Avenue, Metro-North at 125th Street, multiple bus lines, and Citi Bike stations.
