Welcome to 128 W 138th St, also known as Holstein Court. Built in 1929 and first known as Liberty Hall, it was later acquired and developed as a residential building by Casper Holstein, a legendary Harlem gambling king and Harlem Renaissance philanthropist who was dubbed "Harlem's Favorite Hero" by the NY Times for his many generous contributions to artistic and educational causes, in New York and the world beyond.

Today, Holstein Court is an excellently managed, maintained and financially sound HDFC co-operative, with a live-in super, renovated elevator and laundry room, and an elegant lobby and outdoor community courtyard.

Apartment 3-H is a corner apartment, facing north and west, with excellent light, neighborhood and skyline views. Fully renovated, it's a comfortable and livable space, featuring a windowed eat-in kitchen, a windowed bathroom with shower, a queen-sized bedroom, a gallery-style entryway, and a living room facing a neighborhood park.

Located next-door to the historic Abyssinian Baptist Church, Holstein Court is in easy walking distance to St. Nicholas Park, City College, the B,C and 2,3 subways, Harlem Hospital, the Schomburg Center, the Harlem YMCA fitness center, and iconic Harlem favorites like Red Rooster, Ponty Bistro, Harlem Hops, and the 125th shopping corridor, as well.

Due to its HDFC designation, Holstein Court is subject to 120% AMI income restrictions and must be your primary residence. 2025 income caps are $136,080 for one person, $155,520 for two. With a low current maintenance of $683.11, no current assessments, and healthy financials, Apt. 3-H is an excellent choice for convenient, affordable, and cosmopolitan Manhattan living - in a low-density, historic Uptown neighborhood, with easy and quick access to it all!
