Description

Located on one of the most beautiful tree-lined streets in Harlem's Mount Morris Park Historic District, 8 West 121st Street is a nearly 120-year-old Landmark Renaissance Revival Brownstone Row House restored to its' historic and elegant grandeur. There's a tree-lined street view in the front and sun-filled garden view from the south facing rear. There are four floors, a ground/garden level with and private gated front patio and a full rear patio/garden plus a cellar -housing four storage cages, a half bath and super's office. Wherever possible original details such as a mahogany bench with built-in original mirror in the building entrance foyer, 9 decorative fireplaces each with their original ornate mantel pieces, stunning original 3" Solid Core Mahogany Pocket Doors in the Unit 1/parlor level entrance foyer, the building's gorgeous mahogany staircase banister and the 105 year old stained glass window panel over the built-in cedar-lined dining banquette in the Unit 1/parlor level -were all painstakingly restored. The purchaser has various usage options from which to choose: maintain it as the profitable investment property it is by renewing the three current leases (Units 1 & 2 exp. 5/2020 and Unit 3 exp. 8/2021) or move into either unit one or two while collecting market rate rents or wait until after 8/2021 for Unit 3 to become available and reconfigure the entire townhouse into your own grand private single-family home. All three are non-stabilized leases at market rate rents. With its' remarkably low annual real estate taxes, whichever option you choose -it's an exceptional investment opportunity and a magnificent home.
