Why this home stands out

Two-bedroom condos with comparable square footage in Central Harlem typically carry meaningfully higher monthly costs. Apartment 3B comes in well below the neighborhood average thanks to a 25-Year 421-a Tax Abatement that keeps monthly real estate taxes at approximately $13. Combined with common charges of $1,332, you live larger and carry less.
Inside the home

The open-plan layout connects an entertainer’s kitchen, dining area, and a sun-drenched living room with tree-level views. The kitchen is anchored by walnut cabinetry, quartz countertops, a custom glass mosaic backsplash, and a long peninsula with prep and seating space. Built-in appliances and ample storage complete the picture.
Both bedrooms sit quietly away from the main living space. The primary en-suite bathroom features a deep soaking tub, a separate glass-enclosed stall shower, and a window framing the trees. It is a genuine luxury detail rarely seen at this price point. The second bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower, in-unit Bosch washer/dryer, and the same bright outlook.
Both bathrooms are windowed. In New York City, that’s rare.
Hardwood floors run throughout. Central air conditioning. Recessed lighting. Multiple exposures fill the home with natural light from morning to evening.
