The 1st and 2nd floors are currently occupied on a month to month basis by a fitness studio. The entire property will be delivered vacant with a Certificate of Occupancy. This is a turn-key property with renovations and upgrades completed between 2015 and 2021 including hand-painted brick walls, stone arches, HVAC systems, hot water heaters, commercial sprinkler system, plus the basement has two exits and venting to the roof. The newly-pointed facade and windows are both DOB & Landmark approved.

Above the commercial space is a grand duplex apartment or 3 separate units with a separate entrance and stairwell. On the 3rd floor there are two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and glass enclosed showers. An historic wood staircase leads to the fourth floor with soaring wood beamed ceilings, open eat in kitchen, primary bedroom, 1 baths, plus an in-unit washer/dryer. The details in the residential floors are designed with carefully selected features such as a set of vintage post office doors, antique mantelpieces, vented gas ranges, and the hand-painted brick walls in every room. The roof can be developed into a private garden/deck with expansive views. The building has East and West exposures. The front of the building faces Lenox Avenue and overlooks low brownstones and an historic steepled structure allowing for a lot of light and sky. 274 Lenox Ave is a Neo-Grecian Brownstone designed by Architect Charles H. Beer and built in 1885. The possibilities are endless for this spectacular property.
