Description

Renovated One Bedroom at The MonteCristo

Welcome to Apartment 2H, a beautifully renovated corner one-bedroom residence at The MonteCristo, a well-managed HDFC cooperative ideally situated on a tree-lined block bordering the Mount Morris Park Historic District.

Thoughtfully updated throughout, this inviting corner home blends prewar character with modern finishes. Western and northern exposures fill the apartment with natural light throughout the day, while west-facing windows provide beautiful sunset views. The renovated interior features 9'4" ceilings, hardwood flooring, generous closet space, a windowed kitchen, and a tastefully renovated windowed bathroom.

Built in 1910, The MonteCristo is a well-maintained elevator cooperative with a full-time superintendent and just 51 apartments. Monthly maintenance of only $490 includes heat and hot water, offering exceptional value in one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods.

The location places you in the heart of Harlem's thriving cultural and commercial corridor, with Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Target, and the vibrant shopping, entertainment, and cultural offerings surrounding 125th Street nearby. Residents enjoy easy access to the historic Apollo Theater, the restored Victoria Theater, and the new home of the Studio Museum in Harlem. Positioned near three of Upper Manhattan's most beloved parks, the home offers convenient access to Marcus Garvey Park, Morningside Park, and Central Park. The neighborhood also benefits from proximity to Columbia University's expanding Manhattanville campus and the transportation hub at 125th Street, providing convenient access throughout Manhattan and beyond via the 2, 3, A, B, C, and D subway lines.

This HDFC cooperative is intended for primary residence ownership and is subject to board approval and income restrictions. Maximum household income may not exceed 120% of AMI: 1 person: $142,560; 2 persons: $162,840; 3 persons: $183,240; 4 persons: $203,520.

Subletting is permitted with board approval for up to 18 months within any five-year period.

Offering corner exposures, tasteful renovations, low carrying costs, and an unbeatable Harlem location, Apartment 2H presents an exceptional opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in one of Upper Manhattan's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods.
