Listing Notes

Welcome to 518 West 135th Street - a pre-war HDFC co-op in Hamilton Heights offering a rare opportunity to own a large home at exceptional value. Please note: This is an HDFC co-op. Income limits apply. Unit 5C is a 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence on the 5th floor of a well-maintained walk-up building with only three units per floor. Upon entering, you are met with a long foyer hallway that leads to the first-and largest-bedroom. This room includes its own closet, and the hallway provides two additional closets for practical storage. Continuing through the approximately 55-foot-long layout, you arrive at the open kitchen equipped with a breakfast bar, dining area, full-size refrigerator, and 4-burner stove. An east-facing window provides natural light to the kitchen area. Further inside the home are the remaining two bedrooms, each with built-in closets, and a living room with northern-facing views. The apartment includes hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and a windowed bathroom. In addition to its size and low maintenance, the location is a key benefit. Positioned between Amsterdam Avenue and Riverside Drive, the building is close to City College, Columbia University, Riverside Park, St. Nicholas Park, and several subway lines. You'll also have direct Hudson River views every time you enter/exit the home. Single person max income: $130,440 Two people max income: $149,160
