The unit offers a full kitchen and an in-unit washer/dryer, along with a private backyard complete with a gas line already in place for a grill or fire pit, a rare feature for a studio in this part of the city. Inside, you'll find automated blinds with remote control, a retractable ceiling-mounted TV, and a projector setup for movie nights. The bathroom includes a Toto Neorest toilet with automatic open function. The building connects two structures through a landscaped garden and offers a fully equipped residents' lounge along with a 24-hour fitness center and yoga space. Additional amenities include a virtual doorman, bike storage, a pet spa, and package room for deliveries. Tucked into a quiet stretch of Harlem, this address still puts you close to it all. Whole Foods on 125th Street is a short trip away, and the surrounding blocks are home to some of Harlem's most talked-about restaurants and bars, including Red Rooster and the growing restaurant row along Lenox Avenue. The 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 trains, along with Metro-North service, are all within easy reach.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable condo studio sales in Central Harlem is $360,000, based on 5 sales between October 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $515,000, $155,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $322,000 and $405,000. - **Median closed price**: $360,000 - **Middle half**: $322,000 – $405,000 - **Based on**: 5 condo studio sales in Central Harlem - **Period**: October 2024 – June 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $890/ft² Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89.3% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Central Harlem instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 89.3% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 161 days (about 23 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 90 days (about 13 weeks) Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89.3% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 161 days (about 23 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 90 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 4 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 5 condo studio sales in Central Harlem, October 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
