This South Harlem penthouse comes with a 600-square foot perch over two parks
This South Harlem penthouse doesn't lack for the great outdoors. For starters, it's ideally positioned close to two greenspaces—Morningside Park and Central Park—and its huge roof deck offers a private perch from which to take in the views of all that greenery. The two-bedroom is in the Gateway, a luxury condominium building with plenty of amenities, plus the added perk of low monthly charges, thanks to a 421-A tax abatement in place until 2032.
Moreover, its location on Frederick Douglass Blvd. means proximity to restaurants, bars, and shopping, in addition the parks. Listed by Halstead for $1.725 million, this unit is a touch pricey for the neighborhood, and its spiral staircase leading to an exclusive outdoor space is a likely explanation. (A caveat: At press time, we heard that the agents have just accepted an offer.)
You'll enter through a foyer into the living area, where you'll find hardwood floors throughout, additional outdoor space in an east-facing balcony, and a separate dining area. The kitchen features a breakfast bar, as well as stainless steel appliances—including a dishwasher and a wine fridge—and generous cabinet storage and countertop space.
The master bedroom, thanks to its corner position, enjoys multiple exposures, and also includes a custom, walk-in closet and en suite bath. The adjacent second bedroom is currently set up as an office, and can easily double as a guest room, as it comes with a Murphy bed and two large closets of its own. Plus, you'll find an additional bathroom across the hall.
The 600-square-foot private roof terrace is definitely the standout here, and is party-ready, thanks to a gas line and outdoor lighting. There's also a water spigot for green thumbs who'd like to do a little rooftop gardening. The building features a common roof deck for more panoramic views, as well as 24-hour doorman service, a gym, laundry room (sorry, no washer and dryer in the unit), and a landscaped courtyard—offering yet another opportunity to get some fresh air.
