Aurum is an eight-story, full-service condominium completed in 2015 and located in Central Harlem. The mid-rise structure contains primarily one- and two-bedroom residences finished with wide-plank white oak floors, efficient double-pane windows, and modern open kitchens featuring lacquered cabinetry, under-cabinet LED lighting, Caesarstone or quartz counters, and stainless steel appliance packages. Units commonly include vented in-unit washer/dryers, central HVAC, generous closet/storage solutions, and polished bathrooms with Kohler fixtures and a mix of soaking tubs and stall showers. Common areas are thoughtfully programmed and range from a 24-hour attended lobby and resident manager to a landscaped interior courtyard, residents’ lounge/media room, and a penthouse-level fitness center. Outdoors the property offers two levels of furnished roof decks with grilling stations, additional landscaped terraces and a live green wall, reinforcing the building’s LEED-certified, sustainably minded design which incorporates a green roof and co-generation systems. Services and conveniences include bicycle storage, package room, optional private storage, and an attached garage with direct elevator access (parking for a fee). The building benefits from a long-term 421-a tax abatement and sits within walking distance of multiple subway lines, parks, grocery stores, and neighborhood restaurants that define daily life in Harlem.
