Property Details
Description
Design your new home. This attached rowhouse on West 159th Street is currently configured as a single family (with one kitchen). There is a sprinkler system throughout the entire building and a gas-fired boiler in good condition. Last renovated in the 80s/90s, you will find that this home will require work prior to occupancy. Technically an SRO, the building will be delivered with CONH at closing. Showing by private appointment.
The building is 15 feet wide by 40 feet deep (600 SF per floor, 2400 SF residential SF). There is a storage cellar below ground with the sprinkler system and water main in place.
The back yard is 15' x 60' and offers plenty of outdoor space! There is additional FAR to this property as well if you were thinking of expanding the footprint.
565 West 159th Street is only a 1/2 block to Broadway. There is a really nice diverse retail corridor in this part of Broadway, with a Planet Fitness, a big new Super Foodtown, GNC, TD Bank/BoA, a new gastropub called Hilltop Park Alehouse, and a fun new bar named Boxers.
The 1-train is only two blocks away making this ideal for commuters, and for outdoor enthusiasts, take a stroll down Fort Washington Avenue, The Morris Jumel Mansion, Highbridge Park, Lily Brown Playground, and the Hudson River Greenway.
