370 Lenox Ave

Smithsonian Place is a seven-story condominium in Harlem that traces its origins to 1898 and underwent an extensive five-year restoration to marry historic fabric with contemporary residential standards. The masonry façade retains late 19th-century brick and stone detailing, restored decorative balconies and crafted cornices, while large double-glazed casement windows and 9–10 foot ceilings bring abundant light into the homes. The collection includes one- and two-bedroom layouts (with some three-bedroom examples in listings), each finished with white oak flooring, fitted bedroom closets, washer/dryer cabinetry, and kitchen packages featuring custom light-grey cabinets, granite counters, high-end appliances and brass accents. Bathrooms use stone floor tiles, matte wall tiles, custom vanities, mirrored medicine cabinets and modern fixtures. Common areas are designed for daily life and well-being: a staffed entrance/doorman, a double-height fitness studio with Peloton and Tonal equipment, a mezzanine yoga/Pilates zone with sauna and steam rooms, residents’ lounge with a stone-set fireplace, game room and playroom. Practical building services and storage include bicycle storage, a pet wash area and optional private storage for an additional fee. Exterior features provide modest private outdoor space such as small balconies. Located steps from the 125th Street 2/3 station, Whole Foods and within an easy bike ride to Central Park, the building emphasizes both neighborhood convenience and preserved architectural character.
