Property Details
Description
Nineteen feet wide and rising five full floors, 2070 Fifth Avenue presents a substantial Harlem townhouse defined by scale, flexibility, and long-term upside. The building comprises approximately 5,200 square feet of interior space above grade, with a total interior footprint of roughly 6,324 square feet including the finished cellar, and approximately 1,400 square feet of exterior space across the front yard, rear yard, terrace, deck, and roof. Currently configured as three distinct residences, the property offers multiple pathways for ownership. Owner’s Triplex The lower three levels combine to create a spacious triplex spanning the parlor floor, garden floor, and a finished basement. The parlor level serves as the primary entertaining floor, where over ten foot ceilings enhance the sense of volume across the full nineteen-foot width of the living and dining area. The proportions of the space allow for comfortable entertaining and generous furniture layouts rarely found in townhouse apartments. Below, the garden level provides additional living space, bedroom accommodations, and direct access to the private rear yard. The finished cellar further expands the usable footprint and includes a half bath, offering flexibility for recreation, office space, storage, or ancillary living use. Together, these three levels create a residence that reads and functions like a private home within the townhouse. Third Floor Residence A full-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies the third level. Ten-foot ceilings and large front-facing windows bring generous natural light into the living space, while the bedrooms are positioned toward the rear for privacy and quiet. The layout is efficient and well suited for rental income or guest accommodations. Upper Duplex Residence The top two floors combine to form a larger multi-bedroom residence. Ceiling heights around ten feet and full-width living areas enhance the sense of openness, while exposed brick accents and arched windows introduce architectural character. Bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed across both levels, allowing for comfortable separation between living and sleeping areas. Above, the building offers multiple outdoor spaces totaling approximately 1,400 square feet, including a shared roof with railing and stair access that provides open sky views and additional potential for outdoor enjoyment. Projected gross rental income is approximately $175,000 annually based on the current configuration. Low annual real estate taxes further enhance overall yield. This offering reflects a compelling basis for a nineteen-foot-wide, five-story townhouse of more than 6,300 interior square feet including the finished cellar. Whether repositioned as a single-family residence or optimized as a multi-unit asset, the opportunity lies in acquiring width, square footage, and structural flexibility at a level that allows for future value creation. A Harlem townhouse with presence, proportion, and clear upside.
