Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Platinum Forbes Global Properties.
307 West 136th Street is a 1910 building in the Dorrance Brooks Square Historic District, and its brownstone facade and original cornice were kept through the renovation. You'll notice the grand interior staircase right away, and it carries that older character up through the house.
The parlor level has high ceilings, oversized windows and a floor-to-ceiling mahogany mirror, along with a decorative fireplace. The chef's kitchen is next to it, with quartz countertops, a large center island, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Because the kitchen's open to the rest of that level, cooking and entertaining share one room, which suits hosting but gives less separation between the two.
A private deck runs off the kitchen down to the backyard, and the building has over 60 square feet of private outdoor space. Upstairs, the primary suite has a marble-clad bathroom with a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower. There's also three more bedrooms on the top floor, and a large central skylight brightens all of them.
The garden level is a self-contained one-bedroom, and it's got its own entrance and a kitchen that opens into the living space. The finished 800-square-foot cellar gives you room for storage, a home office or a fitness studio.
St. Nicholas Park is about 2 minutes away on foot, and you're about the same distance from the B and C trains at 135 St. The 2 and 3 are about 10 minutes away, and the Apollo Theater is about 14 minutes on foot.
