Apt 2: Parlor-floor one-bedroom with brand new kitchen and bathroom. Currently vacant. Apt 3: Floor-through one-bedroom apartment currently rented with a lease expiring on May 31, 2018 (and month-to-month thereafter).

Situated on a pretty tree-lined block steps to subway and Metro-North, Whole Foods and 125th commercial corridor makes this brownstone a must-see for investors and end-users.
