Completed in 1892 and standing seven stories high, this prewar condominium conversion occupies a boutique midblock lot in South/West Harlem. Configured primarily with one- and two-bedroom residences, the building blends original architectural proportions—high ceilings and large windows—with contemporary gut-renovated interiors and modern mechanicals added during a 2006 rebuild. Typical unit features include hardwood floors, generous foyer and gallery entries, walk-in closets, recessed and architectural lighting, paneled and quartz or marble-finished bathrooms, and in-unit laundry. Kitchens are equipped with high-end appliance packages (Bosch, Liebherr, GE Monogram, Bertazzoni) and breakfast counters suitable for entertaining. Common areas are modest but well-appointed: a renovated lobby and hallways, part-time doorman desk, live‑in superintendent, video intercom, roof deck, bike storage and a package room. The property is pet-friendly, offers storage opportunities and benefits from a long-standing tax abatement. Located on a tree-lined block near Frederick Douglass Boulevard, the building places residents within short walks of Central Park, Morningside Park, multiple subway lines (2/3, A/C/B/D), Columbia University, cafes, restaurants and grocery options, supporting an urban lifestyle that mixes residential calm with ready access to Harlem’s dining and transit corridors.
