Property Description

Nestled in a prime Central Harlem location, near the legendary Striver's Row, 203 West 136th Street is a distinguished two-family townhouse dating to 1899. This property has amazing potential. Spanning nearly 3,400 square feet across four thoughtfully configured stories, the property strikes a rare balance between historic elegance and modern livability - equally compelling for owner-occupants seeking space and character, and investors looking for long-term value in one of Manhattan's most storied neighborhoods. The garden level has the potential to become a jaw dropping oasis with a little TLC. Perfect for entertaining. Originally arranged as a professional suite, it is currently configured as a living space for the owners and has direct access to a private backyard garden - an extraordinary amenity in the city. Treat this first level as an income opportunity or your own private recreation retreat. The first level also leads to a full basement for tons of storage. Move upstairs stairs to the main residence spanning the second, third and fourth floor, where you can structure the space as a 5 bedroom with living room or a 6 bedroom and utilize the garden level as your living space. The upstairs also features original exposed brick walls (currently painted white there is the opportunity to restore the red brick - the images showing red brick have been virtually renovated to show the potential), an in-unit washer/dryer, a balcony that leads you to the garden level and sky lights on the top floor. Create your dream home at 203 West 136th Street. Bring your designer and your contractor! Enjoy easy access to transportation and you are only 2 blocks to St. Nicholas Park. The property is moments from Harlem Hospital, the Schomburg Center, City College and Columbia University. You are at the crossroads of culture, history, and connectivity. Location, Location, Location! 203 West 136th Street is more than a home. It is an opportunity to plant roots in one of New York City's most vibrant and historically significant communities.
