About This Home

257 W 117th Street #1C

Completely reimagined for modern living by Kathy Kuo, award-winning designer and founder of Kathy Kuo Home - a leading name in luxury home furnishings based in Tribeca.

Residence 1C offers one of the largest footprints in this luxury full-service condominium - 2,700 gross square feet spanning two expansive levels.

With the scale and flexibility of a townhouse, this duplex evokes the feeling of a relaxed retreat, featuring wide-plank hardwood floors in a contemporary finish, designer wallpaper, statement custom light fixtures, and unusually generous proportions rarely found in New York.

The main level is defined by soaring 15-foot ceilings and oversized south-facing windows. Anchored by a beautifully designed open chef's kitchen with stainless steel Liebherr refrigerator, separate Bosch gas cooktop and Bosch electric wall oven, GE microwave, contemporary white lacquer cabinetry with garage-door-style uppers for easy access, quartz countertops, and an illuminated sage-green glass tile backsplash.

A powder room positioned just off the kitchen and entry foyer makes entertaining especially seamless. From the kitchen and dining area, enjoy direct views of the tree-lined block as the seasons change outside your window.

The king-sized primary suite features another oversized window and a spa-like ensuite bath complete with a soaking tub and separate stall shower.

Down a dramatic architectural staircase, the sprawling lower level spans nearly 1,600 square feet and offers extraordinary flexibility.

Currently configured with a secondary living area, home office, two sleeping areas with white barn doors, custom built-ins, and a shared full bath. The space can easily adapt to a wellness studio, creative workspace, or meeting area for live/work use.

Adding a touch of suburban convenience seldom found in the city, a beautifully appointed laundry room with a full-size Bosch washer/dryer and secondary refrigerator rounds out this level.

Additional features include upgraded LED highhat lighting throughout, thoughtfully planned storage, custom drapery, abundant outlets. Each floor of the duplex has its own entrance for easy in-and-out access.

A masterclass in space planning, every square inch of the home has been thoughtfully designed to optimize both flow and function.

Originally built in 1892 as the historic Timmins Storage Warehouse, The Fitzgerald was later converted into a boutique luxury condominium while preserving its original brick facade. The seven-story building contains just 47 residences and has recently updated its lobby, hallways, gym, and bicycle storage areas.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of South Harlem near Columbia University, the home sits moments from Frederick Douglass Boulevard's celebrated "Restaurant Row," offering vibrant dining and neighborhood energy while remaining tucked away on a quieter residential street.

Please note there is a Capital Assessment for $190.62 per month for Lobby Enhancements.
