370 Lenox Ave

Smithsonian Place is a seven-story condominium in Harlem, New York, originally constructed in 1898 and restored over a multi-year renovation to combine late 19th-century masonry with contemporary residential finishes. The 54-unit building primarily offers one- and two-bedroom plans, with some larger multi-bedroom residences and penthouses; typical ceiling heights range from nine to ten feet. Exterior character is preserved through a brick-and-stone façade, decorative balconies facing Lenox Avenue, generously scaled double-glazed casement windows, cornices, and lintels. Interiors emphasize natural materials—white oak hardwood floors, stone accents and timber detailing—alongside modern conveniences such as fitted closets, in-unit washer/dryer cabinets, and abundant natural light from large windows. Kitchens are specified with custom light-gray cabinetry, granite counters and backsplashes, and higher-end appliances (induction cooktop/oven, integrated refrigerator, dishwasher), while bathrooms feature stone floor tiles, custom vanities, mirrored medicine cabinets, and contemporary fixtures. Building common areas and services are designed for resident comfort and daily living: a staffed doorman entry, double-height fitness studio with mezzanine yoga/Pilates zone, sauna and steam rooms, a light-filled residents’ lounge with a prominent fireplace, game and children’s play rooms, bicycle storage, a pet-wash station, video-call/podcast rooms, and optional private storage for a fee. Exterior private outdoor spaces are small (balconies and sub-60 sqft terraces). The location places the building within a short walk of the 125th Street 2/3 subway, grocery options including Whole Foods, and green space with Central Park reachable by a short bike ride, supporting an urban lifestyle with strong transit and neighborhood amenities.
