  • Description
  • Unlock the remarkable potential of this historic Romanesque Revival Harlem Rowhouse.

    Currently configured as a legal two-family residence, the house is zoned R7-2 in a C1-4 overlay and sits on a tree-lined street blending commercial and residential structures. It has undergone several transformations over the past century. The house offers a rare cultural provenance, having once contained the studio of renowned photographer Austin Hansen, whose decades-long work documenting Harlem life is unparalleled. The current owners conducted a major renovation of the building in the early 1990s and have thoughtfully maintained the house as a multi-generational residence. Updated mechanicals and regular maintenance offer a move-in condition option for potential buyers.

    Possibilities abound:

    ***The Garden Level and Parlor Level comprise a two-bedroom, 1.5 bath residence with excellent income potential. Use the upper floors as an owner’s unit with 5 bedrooms, 1.5 bath. Or, reconfigure the space to suit your needs. The northern-facing front of the building offers access to the bustling energy of the city, while the rear of the building offers peaceful, sun-flooded southern exposure. The private backyard, accessible from both units, is large and awaits your magic touch.

    ***Try a live-work situation and use the lower unit for your business endeavors.

    ***Convert the house back to a single-family with an abundance of space and comfort.

    The house is centrally located, with numerous shopping options as well as easy access to the B, C, 2, and 3 subway lines. St. Nicholas Park, City College, Strivers Row, and Harlem Hospital are nearby. Over-all, this opportunity offers a rare chance to create an exciting new chapter for an historic building.

    Please note: Information herein comes from sources deemed reliable but must be independently verified to determine the zoning rules applicable to this specific property. Buyers should engage an architect to perform a zoning analysis. Some photos have been virtually staged or AI-enhanced. Showings are by appointment only.
