Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Curved bays project from the front of 471 West 140th Street, one of a row of ornate townhouses in historic Hamilton Heights. Across the street is the north end of the CCNY campus, the Henry B. Post design, so the block has a clear architectural identity.
The building is 3,888 square feet on a lot 100 feet deep, 18 feet wide and 72 feet long. It holds four apartments with eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms in total. The listing also notes over 1,400 square feet of additional FAR available to add on.
Those front rooms face south, and the bays add space and light to them. A south window can get strong daylight, though nearby buildings can block it. With an open horizon, direct sun reaches a south window for about 8.5 hours on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the equinoxes. In winter, that's a reason to see the front rooms late in the day.
Each of the four apartments has hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, and a renovated bathroom. Every apartment has a washer and dryer, and that's an everyday convenience because laundry stays inside the home. Central air conditioning was newly installed, and extra storage has been built above many closets, using the high ceilings on the upper floors.
Unit 1 is a three bedroom duplex with a two-level private patio. Units 2 and 3 each have a rear balcony, and Unit 4 has private roof access that has recently been decked. A townhouse gives each apartment more separation from the others, though stairs and upkeep for the whole building come with ownership. All four apartments are rented now.
Light and quiet are not the point of the stairs here.
The 137 St-City College station on the 1 train is about 6 minutes on foot, and the 145 St station serving the A, B, C and D is about 9 minutes away. St. Nicholas Park and Hamilton Grange National Memorial are each about 3 minutes away. Riverbank State Park is a few blocks west, and Food Universe Marketplace is about 5 minutes away.
