Property Details
Description
213 East 120th Street presents a compelling four-unit, mixed-use townhouse investment opportunity in the rapidly evolving East Harlem corridor. Built in 1899 and spanning approximately 5,200 square feet , the property is configured with 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 16 total rooms across four units. Delivered fully vacant, this asset offers immediate value-add potential through renovation, repositioning, and improved operational efficiency.
The building features a flexible layout with a mix of residential and ground-floor commercial or live/ work space , including a unit with direct access to a private backyard patio. Each residential unit is pre-plumbed for in-unit washer/dryers, enhancing future rental appeal. Additional highlights include a full basement, classic brownstone character with original details, and multiple units in varying states of renovation-providing a clear path to customization and upside.
An architectural proposal has been prepared to add mezzanine space to the first floor, with the intent to convert the ground-level unit into a full two-bedroom residence. This would increase usable square footage, improve the overall unit mix, and drive higher rental income, strengthening both near-term cash flow and long-term asset value.
With R7A zoning, approximately 3,253 square feet of unused FAR, low annual taxes, and a location within an Opportunity Zone, 213 East 120th Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a boutique, scalable asset in one of Manhattan's fastest-growing neighborhoods.
