2107 5th Avenue

Open houses by appointment only. The upper Fifth Avenue corridor is a historic neighborhood filled with some of the best housing stock in Harlem. Among rows of picturesque brownstones and tree-lined streets, you will find the prestigious address of 2107 Fifth Avenue. Nearly 19-feet wide, this two-family townhouse has the ideal configuration for buyers that require four (or five) bedrooms but also want to benefit from owning a separate unit on the ground floor for rental income or personal use. Entering the triplex on the parlor floor you have a full loft from front to back with a large open eat-in kitchen, a formal dining area, and a living room with 11-foot ceilings. Upstairs on the second floor, a master floor that can be separated from the house contains a large primary bedroom facing the garden, a walk-in dressing room with custom closets, a five-fixture marble bathroom, and a bedroom/office facing Fifth Avenue. The third floor of the house has a laundry closet, a full bathroom with a tub, and three bedrooms, including a center sky-lit room which can also double as an office, playroom, or music studio. This house was gut renovated in 2009 and was outfitted with new gas plumbing and electrical service prior to obtaining a final two-family certificate of occupancy in 2011. With east and west exposures, all rooms in the house receive direct sunlight at some point during the day - a unique feature for living on an avenue. The garden, which is approximately 10 feet longer than most other lots in the city, offers the owner extra space outside (and bonus air rights if needed). On the garden floor with a separate entrance, the rental apartment is a free-market 1-bedroom with access to the storage cellar, which contains a full-size washer/dryer, and can be marketed as a rec-room, office, or storage for the rental, increasing the rent over normal garden apartments. The storage cellar can also be accessed by the owner through an exterior hatchway. The location is ideal for buyers who want the convenience of living near 125th Street with large national retailers such as Whole Foods and the newly announced Trader Joe's. Residents also benefit from close proximity to the 4, 5, 6, Metro-North, and 2, 3 trains for east and west side access downtown and a myriad of parks and playgrounds in the immediate vicinity.
