About This Property
Welcome to The DUPLEX - 251 Seaman Ave, Inwood
TURN KEY.
Set within a classic Art Deco building , two apartments have been joined via an open staircase to create The DUPLEX - a true home with 3 spacious bedrooms & 3 luxurious bathrooms spanning the 2nd and 3rd floors, with flow and energy that only a passionate renovation can convey.
Second Floor: A private entry foyer leads into the spirited living and dining room, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen island is wrapped in bold granite with striking natural appeal. A generously sized bedroom and a moody bathroom with an intimate freestanding tub complete this level.
Third Floor: An sitting room is perched above the open staircase. The primary suite is quiet and features a full stop spa bathroom with a rainwater double shower - luxuriating in the ensuite is a requirement. Radiant heated floors and towel warmers give a hotel-level of comfort. The third bedroom and a third bath flow seamlessly into the floorplan.
Throughout, you'll find flawless red oak floors, all-new electrical, upgraded in-wall plumbing, and storage designed for sophisticated living - genuinely a turnkey space with classic Art Deco character.
The Neighborhood : Inwood is Manhattan's northernmost neighborhood, set by the Hudson and Harlem Rivers and defined by the city's last great natural forest, Inwood Hill Park - a short stroll away, with hiking trails, caves, and some of the best sunset views in the city. Columbia University's Baker Athletics Complex (home to Columbia football, soccer, and track, including Robert K. Kraft Field) sits right at the edge of the neighborhood along the river. Add in the A train express stop, local cafes, and quiet, tree-lined streets, and it's easy to see why Inwood remains one of Manhattan's most charming areas.
The building has laundry, a live in super and storage.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
This 1939 Art Deco building at 251 Seaman Avenue holds a duplex made from two apartments joined by an open staircase across the second and third floors. It has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and the layout divides naturally between the two levels.
Two floors, one staircase.
The second floor opens from a private entry foyer into a living and dining room, and the kitchen island is finished in granite. There's also a bedroom and a bathroom with a freestanding tub, which gives you a flexible room for a guest room or an office.
Upstairs, a sitting room sits above the open staircase, and the primary suite has a spa bathroom with a rainwater double shower. The listing includes radiant heated floors and towel warmers, and a third bedroom and third bath open into the same floor plan. You'll notice the upper level has the most finished detail in the home.
Red oak floors run throughout, the electrical has been fully replaced, and the in-wall plumbing has been upgraded. The building has an elevator, laundry, a live-in super and storage, and the home has private outdoor space of over 60 square feet. The apartments are cooled by window air conditioning units, so it's worth knowing how the cooling is set up before you plan the summer.
The A train at Inwood-207 St is about 7 minutes on foot, and the 1 train at 215 St is about 5 minutes. Isham Park is about 2 minutes away and Inwood Hill Park about 3 minutes, so green space is close by. Food Universe Marketplace is about 4 minutes on foot for groceries.
Because this is a co-op, the purchase goes through board review. Your broker or an attorney is the right person to walk you through the financing and subletting rules before you make an offer.
