108 West 131st Street Apt # Penthouse

Enjoy the gorgeous, fully renovated upper floors of the former home of a noted Harlem Renaissance figure!

This elegant two-family Neo-Grec brownstone, located in the 130th-132nd St Historic District, was built in 1884 by William S. Jennings and was later the home of noted author Zora Neale Hurston (Their Eyes Were Watching God) - the commemorative Landmarks Commission plaque was recently installed! The property was fully renovated in 2008 with the addition of a Penthouse and Roof Deck, and is in outstanding condition.

This stunning, 18-foot-wide, Three-Bedroom/Two-and-a-Half Bathroom Penthouse Triplex with spacious Roof Deck (power and water connections are built in), is now available. A notable feature of this property, in keeping with its artistic heritage and as shown in the photographs and on the floorplans, is that it has a sliding door configuration that can convert it in seconds into an open Loft with access to the Penthouse and Deck - perfect for an artist or writer, or for entertaining.

The apartment also boasts Ceramic Bathrooms, a Kitchen with recent upgrades to the Stainless-Steel appliances, and a Frigidaire Laundry center. An ‘On Demand’ gas water heater and separately zoned Smart-controlled Central Air units keep the apartment cool in summer and warm in winter.

This move-in ready property is located in the heart of Central Harlem, close to 125th Street shopping and Wholefoods supermarket, and over 20 restaurants and bars - including The Red Rooster & Ginny’s, Sylvia’s and Social Corner — within just a few blocks' walk. Easy access to the 2/3, A/B/C/D and 4/5/6 subway lines and Metro North mean you can be in midtown in 20 minutes. For recreation, two children's playgrounds are within a few minutes walk of the property, and Central Park, St. Nicholas Park, Mount Morris Park and The Hudson River Cycleway are all just a short stroll or bike ride away.

There is a rental commission of one month's rent, payable by the Tenant. Brokers, CYOF. Contact us today for your private appointment!
