The one bedroom was recently updated with high end finishes

Aside from its bathroom, there's nothing particularly flashy about 128 West 138th St., 6J in Harlem, but for those who enjoy a modern aesthetic and a palatable price tag, it's worth a look. Listed for $375,000 (with a manageable $450 maintenance) this one-bedroom, one-bath co-op is in a prewar six-story building, Holstein Court. (It is also an HDFC building, so income restrictions apply.) 

The apartment was recently updated with high-end finishes, has two large windows in the living room, and original hardwood floors in a dark finish that contrasts nicely with the white walls. And the bathroom is the star of the apartment, with a dark gray palette and attractive fixtures.

The kitchen features Blanco faucets and fixtures, a Zarussi oven/range, Summit refrigerator, custom marble countertop and backsplash, and custom quiet-close cabinets.

The bathroom brings the glam with custom tile work, Hangsrohe sink and shower fixtures, and a floating sink.

The bedroom accommodates a king-size bed, and has floor-to-ceiling concealed storage, as well as south-facing windows for lots of natural light.

You can catch the 2 and 3 trains three blocks away at 135th Street, and stores and restaurants can be found along Seventh Avenue or Malcolm X Boulevard.
