A truly distinctive residence at the Fitzgerald, this exceptional three-bedroom, three-full-bathroom duplex was custom designed by an acclaimed New York architect as his own home. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a sophisticated residence where architectural design and everyday functionality come together beautifully. Wide-plank white oak flooring, bespoke millwork, custom lighting, integrated architectural light panels, built-in speakers, and exceptional storage extend throughout the home. Upon entering, the apartment immediately reveals its unique character. To the right, the dining area and chef’s kitchen create an elegant entertaining space, while to the left, a custom-designed closet incorporates a Gaggenau wine cooler. Beyond, the living room is beautifully proportioned, with ceilings soaring to approximately 13 feet at their highest point and approximately eight feet throughout the remainder of the residence. An electric fireplace creates a warm focal point, while integrated speakers and thoughtfully designed lighting enhance the atmosphere throughout. The dining area makes a dramatic architectural statement with an entire wall clad in richly veined Noir Saint Laurent marble, complemented by a custom-made chandelier created specifically for the space by the Owner. The adjoining chef’s kitchen is equally distinctive, featuring custom TABU cabinetry with double drawers, quartz countertops, a Bosch stove, Gaggenau appliances, brass detailing, bespoke lighting, and a garbage disposal. A Gaggenau wine cooler is thoughtfully integrated into the custom storage near the entry. The combination of warm wood cabinetry, crisp quartz surfaces, brass accents, and dramatic Noir Saint Laurent marble creates a refined yet inviting environment for both cooking and entertaining. Also located on the main level is a generously proportioned bedroom and a full bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, offering excellent flexibility for guests or family. A sculptural white Carrara marble staircase leads to the lower level, thoughtfully separating the private sleeping quarters from the entertaining spaces above. The primary suite is designed as a serene retreat and features a custom closet, a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, and direct access to the private backyard. The spa-inspired bath includes a Noir Saint Laurent marble double vanity, deep soaking tub, and porcelain tiles. From the bedroom, step directly outside to a secluded outdoor space ideal for lounging, dining, entertaining, or summer barbecues. The second bedroom on this level is exceptionally spacious and includes its own custom closet and dedicated desk area. An additional home-office space comfortably accommodates two workstations and features a built-in bookshelf, creating a dedicated work-from-home environment without sacrificing a bedroom. A third full bathroom offers another deep soaking tub and conveniently incorporates the washer and dryer. Thoughtfully concealed storage beneath the staircase provides additional space for household supplies and everyday necessities. With its wide-plank white oak floors, custom TABU cabinetry, Bosch stove, Gaggenau appliances and wine cooler, Noir Saint Laurent marble, quartz countertops, Carrara marble staircase, bespoke lighting, architectural light panels, integrated sound, extensive custom storage, three full bathrooms, and private backyard, this one-of-a-kind South Harlem duplex offers an exceptional combination of architectural distinction, sophisticated design, functionality, and true indoor-outdoor living.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4E (Apartment) | 2 | 1,055 | $880,000 | $834/ft² | April 15, 2026 | City record | | 6A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,102 | $1,825,000 | $868/ft² | December 16, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 1-G (Duplex) | 3 | 1,945 | $999,000 | $514/ft² | August 2, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 3H (Apartment) | 1 | 1,031 | $902,000 | $875/ft² | July 18, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 3E (Apartment) | 1 | 1,055 | $870,000 | $825/ft² | December 19, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 7A (Apartment) | — | 2,102 | $2,365,000 | $1,125/ft² | August 5, 2022 | City record | | 3D (Apartment) | 1 | 1,098 | $995,000 | $906/ft² | April 13, 2022 | City record | | 6D (Apartment) | 2 | 2,095 | $1,595,000 | $761/ft² | February 7, 2022 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $1,950,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,635,000 - **Difference**: +$315,000 (+19.3%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $920 - **Median $/ft²**: $958 - **Comparable sales**: 13 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,445,000 – $1,995,000 Based on condo three-bedroom sales in Harlem. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Harlem instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.3% (11 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 73% (11 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 94 days (11 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 56 days (11 sales) Based on condo three-bedroom sales in Harlem with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. ### Price trend Median price per square foot, sales at 257 West 117th Street | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2018 | $892/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2021 | $902/ft² | 5 | | 2022 | $865/ft² | 4 (thin) | Based on recorded sales at 257 West 117th Street. Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning. Sales data through July 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
