☞ DWELL: 607 West 146th Sold in June

Number 607 West 146th Street had a contract out quickly this summer and the West Harlem townhouse has sold as about a month ago. The askinging price was at $2.1 million which would be a record amount for the blocks just west of Broadway in Hamilton Heights but we do not have any details on the final closing number.

Higher end buyers tend to look for homes that are updated in the functional rooms but also want the romance of the original house interiors.  The West Harlem market has been doing well recently because of this attention to detail by local renovators and some of these fringe blocks have started to get some attention.  Better restaurants have also finally been arriving in the more residential areas which is something that has been lacking in the past.  More on Streeteasy: LINK
