128 W 138th St #6E, Manhattan, NY 10030

Welcome to 128 W 138th St, also known as Holstein Court. Built in 1929 and first known as Liberty Hall, it was later acquired and developed as a residential building by Casper Holstein, a legendary Harlem gambling king and Harlem Renaissance philanthropist, who was dubbed "Harlem's Favorite Hero" by the NY Times for his many generous contributions to artistic and educational causes, in New York and the world beyond. Today, Holstein Court is an excellently managed, maintained and financially sound HDFC co-operative, with a live-in super, renovated elevator and laundry room, and an elegant lobby and outdoor community courtyard. 80% financing permitted. SPECIAL NOTE: even with today's rising mortgage rates - due to Holstein Ct's location in a "moderate income zone" and special programs for first-time homebuyers - there IS the possibility for SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER MORTGAGE RATES than what you may be seeing in the news. Please check in for additional information! (At this point, we return to the regularly scheduled program)... Apartment 6E is on the top floor, facing north, with excellent light and neighborhood and skyline views. Fully and beautifully renovated, it's a very comfortable and livable space, featuring a modern kitchen with new appliances and excellent cabinet space, open to the dining area and living room.
