The Savoy West is a five-story prewar condominium conversion in Central Harlem originally built in 1910 and converted in 2007. The masonry building contains roughly two dozen residences, primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, arranged across a modest low-rise profile that preserves neighborhood scale. Interiors emphasize classic prewar details updated with modern finishes: high ceilings (commonly 9–15 feet in select units), crown moldings, mahogany-stained oak floors, oversized windows and marble-clad bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. Kitchens are frequently finished with white marble counters, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless-steel GE Profile appliances. Several duplex and terrace units add private outdoor space ranging from small balconies to large patios and private roof terraces. Common areas combine residential convenience and communal amenities: a virtual/attended lobby, part-time superintendent, fitness center, residents’ lounge/media room, laundry facilities, bicycle storage and deeded private storage for many units. A planted, furnished roof deck provides panoramic views and is available for owners’ use. Building policies are flexible for urban living — pets and pied-à-terre ownership are allowed, and the property participates in a long-running J-51 tax abatement program. The Savoy West includes elevator service and a package room to support daily needs. Situated near 135th Street, the building sits within walking distance of multiple subway lines (2/3 express within a few blocks; A/B/C and local lines nearby) and frequent bus routes. Immediate neighborhood amenities include St. Nicholas Park, dining institutions, cultural sites such as the Studio Museum of Harlem, and easy access to hospital and institutional anchors, making the property a balanced choice for those seeking prewar character with contemporary building services.
