Historic Harlem Townhouse

Discover a rare opportunity to own a stately 5-story, 20-foot-wide townhouse nestled in the heart of Harlem's most desirable enclave, the Mount Morris Park Historic District.

Step inside to find an abundance of original details-ornate woodwork, fireplaces, and period craftsmanship-all in remarkably good condition and awaiting thoughtful restoration. The top floor and roof deliver sweeping views of downtown Manhattan, making this home as visually inspiring as it is functional. The flexible layout includes two 1-bedroom/1-bath units, three 2-bedroom/1-bath units, and two studios-offering both immediate income and long-term potential.

Recent updates include:

Beyond the home itself, the location is second to none. Just blocks from the 2/3 and A/B/C/D trains, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, CVS, and more, you're perfectly positioned for convenience. The surrounding neighborhood offers an extraordinary cultural landscape: from jazz and classical theatre in Marcus Garvey Park to performances at the Apollo and National Black Theatre. Art lovers will revel in proximity to the Studio Museum, independent art galleries and the Schomburg Center. Dining and shopping options abound on nearby Malcolm X Blvd. Enjoy brunch at Settepani, cocktails at Archer & Goat, or browse local treasures at boutiques like NiLU and Grandma's Place.
