Bright and beautiful with touches of modern luxury, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom shared apartment in East Harlem is a perfect home for a group of college roommates or working professionals who are moving into one of Manhattan’s hottest neighborhoods. At 915-square-feet, this first-floor unit comes fully loaded with radiator heating, sturdy hardwood floors, high ceilings, recessed lighting, exposed brick walls, large windows for lots of natural light, and a washer and dryer. A newly remodeled kitchen comes fully loaded with modern stainless appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave, white countertops, and plenty of cabinets for storage. All three bedrooms offer closets, windows, and adequate space for queen-size beds and additional furniture. Just north of Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side neighborhood, East Harlem is a slightly more affordable but no less bustling area that borders the world-famous New York City attraction, Central Park. Often referred to as “El Barrio” by its local inhabitants, East Harlem is a colorful and exciting neighborhood to live in due to its walkable streets, amazing Latin American cuisine, and vibrant murals sprinkled throughout this growing area. The influence of Puerto Rican culture is hard to miss in East Harlem and is at least partially responsible for the unique atmosphere and overall community involvement you see here. Spend an afternoon walking the mile-long strip of Fifth Avenue, commonly referred to as “Museum Mile,” and check out some of Manhattan’s best historical attractions like the Museum of the City of New York. For an all-inclusive day of art and history, slip around the corner to East Harlem’s famous Graffiti Hall of Fame, where you will find some of the most popular street art in New York City. This beautiful, smoke-free unit is in a six-story, 1920s elevator building at the corner of Madison Avenue, one of the busier commercial thoroughfares in East Harlem. This conveniently located apartment is within walking distance to numerous nearby local shops and convenience stores, including bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. An eight-minute walk will get you to Central Park North station for the 2 and 3 trains on the Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. This apartment includes street parking, a wall-mounted TV, and paid WiFi. Schedule a tour today to see this charming East Harlem apartment in person.... Read more
