About This Home

This duplex lives as a true two-bedroom, with a fully enclosed second room on the main level and a primary bedroom above. The bonus room is generously scaled, with two windows and a large closet, and is set behind sliding frosted glass pocket doors that allow for separation while maintaining a sense of openness. The living room is defined by an open staircase with a custom railing that serves as a clear architectural focal point. Its placement shapes the layout and gives the space a strong visual identity. The room is currently arranged with a comfortable seating area and a dedicated workspace, with new wide-plank wood flooring running seamlessly throughout the home. Overhead, sculptural ceiling fixtures introduce a distinctive, high-design element that carries throughout both levels. The kitchen has been completely renovated with a sharp, modern design. It features a stainless steel ZLINE professional gas range, Bosch refrigerator, and an in-sink dishwasher, set against Fabuwood cabinetry with clean lines and a tailored, built-in feel, paired with quartz countertops. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is well scaled and set apart from the main living area. It accommodates a king-size bed along with additional furniture and includes an oversized walk-in closet that provides exceptional storage. The bathroom has also been fully renovated, featuring textured tilework, a modern vanity, and a sharply executed, contemporary design. Sculptural, high-end lighting continues throughout the home, reinforcing the clean, modern aesthetic. The Washington occupies an imposing row of historic walk-up buildings that were completely reimagined and combined into a single elevator cooperative using financing from the New York City Housing Development Corporation. Purchasers must have a maximum household income of $364,500 (250% of AMI). Financing of up to 90% is permitted. Please note, this is NOT an HDFC co-op. This pet-friendly building is well maintained and offers two elevator banks, two laundry rooms, a fitness room, bike storage, community space, and a live-in superintendent. Monthly maintenance includes heat, hot water, and gas. Positioned in the heart of Harlem, the location offers convenient access to the A, B, C, and D trains at 145th Street, as well as the 3 train at 148th Street-Lenox Terminal, providing fast, direct access to Midtown and Lower Manhattan. Nearby, St. Nicholas Park offers expansive green space along with a popular public pool, while neighborhood standouts include Briciola Harlem, a branch of a well-loved Hell's Kitchen wine bar known for contemporary Italian cooking and thoughtfully selected wines, Benyam Ethiopian Cuisine, a family-run restaurant serving traditional Ethiopian dishes, Common Good Harlem, a neighborhood coffee bar and gathering space, and Charles Pan-Fried Chicken, long considered one of Harlem's defining institutions
