130 West 119th Street

Sold

Built in 1897-8 by Alfred Taylor and situated on the most sought-after block in the heart of the Mount Morris Park Historic District, this gorgeous Renaissance Revival brownstone townhouse is fully 20 feet wide and 58 feet deep with an additional 10-foot extension across its four floors, giving a total of 5,040 square feet of space. The building is an SRO and is set to be delivered vacant with a Certificate of Non-Harassment (CONH). The beautiful exterior features a winged lion (Lammasu) motif, which is continued in the interior of the house, most notably on the main baluster of the central staircase – the centerpiece of this lovely home. The winged lion icon symbolizes wealth and power, and as such these carvings reflect the optimistic mood of early 20th Century America. The interior of the house also features original oak screens, wainscoting and doors, and the original fireplaces, which are all of outstanding quality. The high ceilings and windows give a wonderful sense of light and space. This is a truly wonderful opportunity to own and renovate a historic Harlem townhome.

This lovely house is located conveniently close to Harlem’s Restaurant Row and to shopping on 125th Street, featuring a new Whole Foods and Bed Bath and Beyond. For recreation, the home is nestled between Mount Morris Park, Morningside Park and Central Park. Transportation options include the 2/3 and B/C subway lines, and the M2, M7 and M101 bus lines.

This property will be delivered vacant with all paperwork provided.
