231 W 148th St APT 4K, New York, NY 10039

A rare one-bedroom duplex in Hamilton Heights offering two levels of living, low monthly maintenance, and an opportunity to own in the heart of Harlem. This stylish one-bedroom, one-bath duplex at The Washington Co-ops offers a refreshing alternative to the typical NYC one-bedroom, with a distinctive two-level layout that creates a true separation between living and sleeping spaces. The main level features a spacious living and dining area with hardwood floors and plenty of room to entertain or work from home. The updated kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry with granite countertops, a rich brick backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. A striking spiral staircase leads to the private upper level, where an oversized bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and offers excellent closet space. A modern bathroom with warm wood finishes completes the home. The Washington is a pet-friendly HDC co-op in Harlem with an elevator, two laundry rooms, fitness center, bike and additional storage, live-in superintendent, community and play rooms, and a key-access courtyard garden with barbecue area. Garage parking is conveniently located across the street. The building offers generous HDC eligibility, with an income cap of 250% of NYC AMI and a maximum household income of $284,250, plus a DTI requirement below 30%. There is no resale price restriction and no flip tax, and subletting is permitted after two years with board approval. With low monthly maintenance and convenient access to the A/B/C/D and 3 trains, this is a compelling opportunity for first-time buyers looking to put down roots in Upper Manhattan. Your first New York home doesn't have to feel like a starter apartment.
