Ang pinakamakabagbag-damdaming 1-bedroom condo sa Manhattan na hindi lalagpas sa $1M — kumpleto sa isang pambihirang pribadong likuran at walang pag-apruba mula sa board.

Maligayang pagdating sa Residence 2 sa 121 West 131st Street, isang pambihirang tahanan sa parlor-level na may floor-through na nag-aalok ng halos imposibleng hanapin sa Manhattan sa presyong ito: tunay na charm ng brownstone, modernong kaginhawahan, at isang malawak na 435 SF na pribadong likuran na tila ang iyong sariling urban oasis.

Matatagpuan sa isang brownstone sa Harlem mula dekada 1890 sa isa sa mga pinaka-pitikip na makasaysayang kalye ng kapitbahayan, ang magandang inayos na tahanan na ito ay maayos na pinagsasama ang historikal na karakter at modernong kaginhawahan, kabilang ang central HVAC na may Nest, isang washer/dryer sa unit, at isang bukas na kusina na dinisenyo para sa pang-araw-araw na buhay at panauhin. Ang mga orihinal na detalye tulad ng umaabot na 11-paa na kisame, nakabuyangyang na ladrilyo, stained glass, masalimuot na kahoy na gawa, isang pahalang na fireplace, at mayamang hardwood na sahig ay maingat na pinanatili sa buong tahanan.

Ang mataas na bintana na nakaharap sa timog ay nagdadala ng mainit na natural na liwanag sa living space, habang ang nababagong plano ng palapag ay nag-aalok ng isang dedikadong dining area na maaaring madaling magamit bilang isang home office, nursery, o formal dining space.

Ang silid-tulugan ay tahimik, maliwanag, at lubos na functional, na nagtatampok ng isang pader ng mga bintana, isang hiwalay na dressing area, at isang walk-in closet na may mga custom built-ins.

At narito na ang likuran.

Bihira ang isang one-bedroom sa Manhattan na nag-aalok ng outdoor space na ganito kalawak at kapaki-pakinabang. Na may sukat na humigit-kumulang 435 square feet, ang pribadong sun-filled retreat na ito ay maganda ang pagkakaayos na may wood deck, custom planters, at sapat na espasyo para sa pagkain, pamamahinga, pag-aaliw, o simpleng pagtamasa ng kapayapaan mula sa siyudad.

Isang pribadong 65 SF na storage room ang kasama sa apartment, na nagdaragdag pa ng higit pang kakayahang umangkop.

Masisiyahan ang mga residente sa isang video intercom system, isang ganap na kagamitan na gym, at isang furnished common roof deck na may BBQ grills. Matatagpuan sa ilang sandali mula sa 2/3 express trains, na may madaling access sa A/B/C/D at Metro-North, inilalagay ka ng tahimik na brownstone block na ito malapit sa pinakamahusay na kainan, pamimili, at pang-araw-araw na kaginhawahan sa Harlem kabilang ang Whole Foods, Target, at mga paborito sa kapitbahayan na ilang minuto lamang ang layo.

Para sa mga mamimili na naghahanap ng charm, outdoor space, kakayahang umangkop, at tunay na pagmamay-ari ng condominium sa ilalim ng $1M, talagang napaka-kaunti ang katulad nito sa Manhattan.

Manhattan’s most compelling 1-bedroom condo under $1M — complete with an extraordinary private backyard and no board approval.

Welcome to Residence 2 at 121 West 131st Street, a rare floor-through parlor-level home that delivers something almost impossible to find in Manhattan at this price point: authentic brownstone charm, modern convenience, and a sprawling 435 SF private backyard that lives like your own urban oasis.

Set within an 1890s Harlem brownstone on one of the neighborhood’s most picturesque landmark blocks, this beautifully renovated home seamlessly blends historic character with modern comforts, including central HVAC with Nest, an in-unit washer/dryer, and an open kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Original details such as soaring 11-foot ceilings, exposed brick, stained glass, ornate millwork, a decorative fireplace, and rich hardwood floors have been thoughtfully preserved throughout.

Tall south-facing windows bring warm natural light into the living space, while the flexible floor plan offers a dedicated dining area that can readily function as a home office, nursery, or formal dining space.

The bedroom is quiet, bright, and exceptionally functional, featuring a wall of windows, a separate dressing area, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins.

And then there is the backyard.

Measuring approximately 435 square feet, this private sun-filled retreat is beautifully outfitted with a wood deck, custom planters, and ample room for dining, lounging, entertaining, or simply enjoying a peaceful escape from the city.

A private 65 SF storage room transfers with the apartment, adding even more flexibility.
