Description

South Harlem Gut Renovated two-family townhouse for under $2M! This cozy townhouse sits in an unbeatable location as a rarely found affordable road to ownership of a Manhattan townhouse! One thing that makes this the more affordable option is that you can live in your townhouse benefiting by strong income from the second apartment or keep the whole property purely for the income. Another aspect contributing to greater affordability are the unusually LOW annual taxes of $2,395! The house is configured as a garden tri-level two bedroom one and one half bath home with a lower level bonus recreation room through which you will find the access to your private backyard and the second unit is a third and fourth floor three bedroom two and one half bath duplex apartment. Throughout the property, you will find quality White Oak flooring, CeasarStone Countertops, Stainless Steel Appliances and Grohe fixtures. This Townhouse deal features a Keyless Entry with Video Intercom and Security System. Near to Central Park and the entire incredibly popular South Harlem restaurant scene, townhouse properties in SoHa which are fully renovated and under $2M like this one are rare and soon to completely vanish. It is possible that it can be Delivered Vacant or Producing Income with tenants in place.
