About this home
400 Convent Avenue is located on one of the most beautiful, livable, and historic streets in Harlem - and in New York City as a whole. Tree-lined blocks, magnificent stone townhouses and pre-war apartment buildings, and yet only a block away from the A,B,C,D subway stop, which can drop you off at Columbus Circle in 18 minutes, door-to-door.<br> <br> Former residents on the block include Alexander Hamilton (yes, that Alexander Hamilton) - his house, known as the Hamilton Grange, has been moved a couple of blocks over to W. 141st St. where you can visit it today) - Billy Strayhorn (whose jazz standard, "Take the A Train", describes a journey you can initiate with a two minute walk to Mr. Strayhorn's song's ultimate destination... the A subway entrance at W. 147th St)... Madame Stephanie St. Claire - legendary Harlem numbers queen and staunch community supporter against the likes of Dutch Schultz, lived just down the block, and, of course, the immortal W.C. Handy, who could well have been working out the melodies to his immortal "St. Louis Blues", just two floors down from Apartment 64, way back when!<br> <br> Not to mention "the Royal Tenenbaums", who are, of course, completely imaginary (apart from the great movie detailing their adventures) but their house in the movie is just a few blocks down the street, as well... so, who knows?<br> <br> On the other hand, Apartment 64 at 400 Convent Avenue is completely real and has, in fact, been beautifully and recently renovated, with a lovely kitchen with stainless appliances, four burner plus griddle range + oven, a side-by-side fridge, overhead microwave, lots and lots of cabinets - a great pass-through counter/eating bar to the dining room, and, yes, a light-filled window as well!<br> <br> The elegant living room features east and north-facing windows, a decorative fireplace that has been retrofitted with electric heating and tasteful dancing LED flames...<br> <br> The bedrooms are light filled with extensive views, good closet space and overhead ceiling fans and, from the easternmost one, you can look all the way to Midtown... in the event you're like to see what the more frenzied New Yorkers are up to!<br> <br> The primary renovated bathroom features a spa-like walk-in shower... and the second half-bathroom is... well, it's really nice!<br> <br> AND... if it would be appropriate for your own "plan for living", the dining room could be easily convertible to a spacious 3rd bedroom (check out the floor plan) while still maintaining the current windowed kitchen and gracious, light-filled living room with above-the-rooftop views looking to the north and east... with the apartment's approximately 1,219 sf more than sufficient to accommodate this change.<br> <br> And, possibly best of all, this elegant living space, on a premier Sugar Hill/Harlem/Manhattan block and neighborhood, is a well-maintained HDFC co-op - aka - one of the best real estate deals in Manhattan. With no pending "capital improvements" or assessments, a responsive management company, and an equally responsive and experienced live-in super. <br> <br> The building's 2026 income caps are in the 120% AMI range, which means, currently, that a single purchaser can earn up to $142,560 per year, while a "family of three" can earn up to $183,240. Check your own numbers against a price per square foot of under $600 psf - and you may end up thanking your good fortune that a deal like this still exists in one of the most expensive (and wonderful) cities on Earth!<br> <br> Appropriate pets are permitted (sadly though, full-grown alligators or polar bears may not achieve board approval) - and the apartment will need to be your primary residence. <br> <br> Happy to answer any further questions and to schedule an in person viewing - just email me or give me a call!...
