A key-access courtyard garden with barbecue area provides a welcome outdoor escape, while garage parking is conveniently located just across the street. Subletting is permitted after two years of residency (board approval required), and there is no flip tax. With monthly maintenance lower than many nearby buildings, strong fundamentals, and convenient access to the A/B/C/D and 3 trains, this home presents a compelling opportunity for buyers ready to make a confident first step into ownership in one of Upper Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 1 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 4 - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1920 - **Common Charges**: $948.53 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Apr 18, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 146 Days ### Residence Features - Common On Floor - Common Area - Garage - High Ceilings - His and Hers Closets - Recessed Lighting - Hardwood ### Building Amenities - Garage ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales One apartment at THE WASHINGTON has a recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $540,000 in June 2024. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2A (Apartment) | 2 | $540,000 | June 17, 2024 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem is $595,000, based on 3 sales between December 2025 and March 2026. This home is asking $455,000, $140,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $410,000 and $607,500. - **Median closed price**: $595,000 - **Middle half**: $410,000 – $607,500 - **Based on**: 3 co-op one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem - **Period**: December 2025 – March 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 2 of these 3 sales (67%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 99.2% of what it originally asked. 67% 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**: 99.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 67% of 3 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 296 days (about 42 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 121 days (about 17 weeks) Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 99.2% of what it originally asked. 67% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 296 days (about 42 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 3 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 121 days (about 17 weeks), based on the 3 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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 3 co-op one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem, December 2025 – March 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.

The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $26,071 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
