Hamilton Lofts Unvieled

By D. Bell

Remember when we mentioned a new condo development that caught our eye back in October of last year? We were able to get a sneak peek of the completed units a few weeks back. Typically when we hear the word loft we picture a tricked out warehouse space with high ceilings, a wall of windows and no defined rooms. Hamilton Lofts aren’t lofts in that sense of the word, but they do have loftycharacteristics.

There is one unit per floor with private elevator access directly into each unit. There is video intercom for security as well as a double door entry. There are also the added features of French doors in the living and dining area that offer lofty views across Harlem. The living rooms also have built-in bookcases, recessed shade pockets, recessed lighting in 10 ft. ceilings, and rich hardwood floors.

The kitchen is an open kitchen design with all the modern amenities we’ve come to know in Harlem like Viking stainless steel appliance, Caesarstone countertops, Kohler fixtures and the ever elusive garbage disposal.

There are two bathrooms per unit. The master bath features a linen closed, slate floors with radiant heat,mosaic tiling, and glass enclosed shower. The second bath features a Briggs tub.

Added features include Bosch washer and dryer in the hall, walk in closets in the master bedrooms, storage space for each unit, and terraces/patios, as well as rooftop access.

During the walk-through the quality of the work was noticeable. This is not a quickly built, cheaply slapped up building that is becoming the norm with some developers. The developers of Hamilton Lofts are Gold Development , also the developers of Hamilton Parc on West 136th and 48 Bond.

The units were warm and cozy, but not tight and confined. They are well lit as there are no buildings blocking the front view. There is also an open landscaped space between the twin building that offer more light in the rear of the building. There are six units per building. Most of the units are two bedroom two baths, with the lower level being a two bedroom one bath and unit two being a rare three bedroom two bath.

Prices range from $539K for the 2 bedroom one bath to $698K for the penthouse unit with the private terrace and spiral staircase.

If you want to see them for yourself Hamilton Lofts will be having a grand opening party tonight with a live jazz band and an art exhibit. See the flier below for the details. More photos after the jump.
