MOSES PRESERVATION Award THE JOHN DWIGHT HOUSE - PAST IS PROLOGUE NOW REDUCED BY NEARLY $1,000,000 Following the lead of McKim, Mead & White, this house was built in 1890 in the neo-Renaissance Revival style by architect Frank Hill Smith for John Dwight. It was erected during The Gilded Age (from 1875 to 1900 or 1910), and financed by his baking soda empire, Arm and Hammer. This product dominated the market from 1873 onward and is still popular today. Frank Hill Smith was also a painter who collaborated with William Morris Hunt in the 1880s, which may account for his preoccupation with interior design and color, which is reflected in the house we see today. AWARD WINNING HISTORIC RENOVATION During their decade long ownership, the present owners engaged the illustrious architect, Samuel G. White, the great grandson of Stanford White, to restore the interior design elements and original floor plan of this house. The mission of White's varied architectural practice is defined as "combining historic restoration and adaptive reuse with new designs and historic settings" and this house offered the perfect palette. Among many other projects, White has modernized Stanford White's Astor Court in Rhinebeck with a similar philosophy. Astor Court was built originally built for John Jacob Astor IV and inspired by The Grand Trianon at Versailles. CORNER HOUSE WITH EXCEPTIONAL LIGHT As New York townhouses tend to be adjacent to each other facing north and south, finding a corner house with light on three sides is extremely rare. This house faces west, south and east, with sets of huge square windows and an amazing five corner rooms. The numerous windows on the long side of the house infuse the interior with an exceptional amount of light. Further adding to the abundant light are four oval rooms on the long side of the building also with huge sets of windows. In total, the house possesses 52 large windows, an extraordinary number. Few houses are so blessed with this amount of natural light.

This home is asking $6,500,000, $3,700,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,960,000 and $2,999,999. - **Median closed price**: $2,800,000 - **Middle half**: $1,960,000 – $2,999,999 - **Based on**: 5 house sales in South Harlem - **Period**: April 2022 – July 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $753/ft² Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89.6% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across South Harlem. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 89.6% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 90 days (about 13 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 52 days (about 7 weeks) Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89.6% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 90 days (about 13 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 52 days (about 7 weeks), based on the 4 with both dates recorded. 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. Based on 5 house sales in South Harlem, April 2022 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. 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.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1017210052. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
