616 W 137Th St

A six-story prewar elevator co-op completed in 1905, this Hamilton Heights building contains primarily multi-bedroom units (notably three- and four-bedroom layouts) across roughly 25 residences. The exterior reflects early-20th-century masonry with proportionate windows and a modest stoop; a recently replaced roof includes solar panels. Interiors throughout the property emphasize tall ceilings, substantial natural woodwork and oak floors, large windows with deep sills, and classic details such as solid wood doors and vintage hardware. Apartment plans range from traditional formal dining and foyer arrangements to open living/dining conversions; many units feature eat-in kitchens, renovated baths with period touches (claw-foot tubs, subway tile), and some offer washer/dryer hook-ups or in-unit laundry where approved. Shared amenities are residential-scale and practical: a landscaped common garden/courtyard with seating and barbecue, bike storage and rentable basement storage cages, and a ButterflyMX video intercom for entry. Building operations include elevator service, on-site management practices typical of a co-op, and regulated resale rules as an HDFC cooperative with income limits and board approval processes; pet ownership is allowed with board consent. The block location sits a half-block from the 137th Street 1-train stop and within easy walking distance of Riverbank State Park, Riverside Park, City College and a cluster of neighborhood shops and restaurants.
